A letter from Paul Foxman, PhD:

Dear Colleague:
Having treated kids and adolescents for over four decades, I have never seen an anxiety epidemic quite like this.

Whether it's divorce and family breakdowns, school stress and expectations, isolation, bullying coupled with overexposure of media, violence, perceived threats from misinformation...

Keeping up with the new challenges your kids face can be overwhelming.

But YOU can be the go-to clinician to set them up for success — for life — by inspiring them to practice new self-regulation skills as a Certified Clinical Child & Adolescent Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP-CA).

Join me for my new certification training and I'll walk you through easy-to-follow case examples and clinical vignettes of:
 
Separation Anxiety Disorder • Panic Disorder • Generalized Anxiety Disorder • Obsessive-compulsive disorders (including skin picking and hair pulling) • Social Anxiety Disorder • Selective Mutism • Specific phobias • Trauma- and Stressor-related disorders

Gain confidence helping your most anxious kids utilizing cognitive-behavioral, biological, mindfulness, and family systems interventions.

Plus, get 8 hours of incredible bonus content — including 44 strategies, practice exercises, and printable handouts that you can use with kids of any age — as well as your Clinical Child & Adolescent Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP-CA) certification.
