Assessment and Interventions for Adolescent Anxiety

3.0 CE clock hours; no NBCC credits available.

Anxiety, unfortunately, is a normal reality in everyone's life that may peak during adolescences. Some typical settings for anxiety include new situations, testing/assessments, performance/evaluation, competition, and even asking something of another can provoke anxiety. Most of the time, anxiety decreases once the nerve-wrecking activity has started or even ended, yet some adolescents may continue to feel anxious. This workshop will provide participants strategies for addressing adolescents suspected of having anxiety disorders. Additionally, the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for anxiety disorders and developmentally appropriate interventions for adolescents with anxiety will be explored.
