Issues in Children's Mental Health Series Conference

 Disruptive Behavior Disorders are often the easiest disorders to spot in childhood and often not nearly as easy to effectively treat. Join Dr. Alissa A. Gleacher as she reviews DBDs and discusses the effective identification and diagnosis of DBDs and ADHD. Next, the focus will shift to the effective treatment using CBT and EBTs. Participants will learn Cognitive Behavioral Treatments in order to effectively work with parents, youth, and schools. 
The conference will focus initially on the identification and assessment of DBD and ADHD including an understanding of the disorders. The focus on assessment will include information on the proper diagnosis of these common disorders. Next, the participants will learn cognitive behavioral interventions for ADHD and DBD. Instruction will include parent training interventions for younger children as well as strategies to use directly with youth. Finally, the attendees will learn about generalizing treatment gains in the home and school settings.
