CBT for Anxiety in Pediatric Primary Care

Audience

Pediatric primary care providers: Pediatricians, family physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants

Description

Participants will learn how to effectively use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help children and teens who suffer from anxiety. The experienced faculty team includes at least one mental health professional and one pediatric primary care provider.

Like all REACH courses, CBT for Anxiety follows a format based on research on adult learning. It has two components:

  • A dynamic full-day workshop focused on building knowledge, skills, and confidence in using CBT for youth anxiety.
  • Four follow-up conference calls in which participants present cases from their practice to solidify their learning and put it into practice. Each call lasts one hour.

Participants can earn up to 11.25 CME credits for both components.

Course Goals

In this course, participants will learn to:

  • Identify and understand the core components of youth anxiety.
  • Screen and assess for anxiety in primary care settings.
  • Summarize the key components of CBT for youth anxiety.
  • Treat anxious child and adolescent patients using evidence-based CBT techniques.
  • Identify patients who need specialty care.

I’ve had parents during visits ask “What can I do in the meantime?” It’s clear that CBT is what’s recommended, and [after the course] I feel better about recommending it to patients and explaining what it is.
