Course Overview

While fear is a frequent and developmentally expected occurrence, some children demonstrate symptoms that develop into maladaptive anxiety disorders, characterized by excessive and persistent fears, avoidance due to anticipation of threat, and associated disruption in functioning (Odgers et al., 2020). Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent disorders in childhood and adolescence; around 10-20% of children suffer from an anxiety disorder (Kreuze et al., 2018). Children and young people with anxiety disorders are more likely than their peers to have difficulty with friendships, family life, and school, and to develop mental health problems later in life (James et al., 2020). Following this training, participants will be able to define anxiety in the context of childhood development and will be able to list the symptoms of anxiety-related disorders commonly seen in children and adolescents.

Screening and assessment tools have been developed to assist clinicians in identifying anxiety symptoms early and accurately establishing anxiety disorder diagnoses (Wehry et al., 2015). There are several empirical self-report screening measures for children ages 8+, including the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC), the Screen for Child Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) and the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS). All measures were developed to be sensitive and specific to assessing anxiety in youth populations and can be useful for progress monitoring for treatment. Additionally, assessment tools can be useful in parsing between common co-morbid diagnoses, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In completing this training, participants will be able to describe common co-morbidities seen in youth with anxiety-related disorders, as well as describe strategies for differentiating between different diagnostic presentations. In consideration of evidence-based interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based psychotherapies, and psychodynamic psychotherapies have been evaluated and proven effective for treating youth with anxiety-related presentations (Wehry et al., 2015). Following this training, participants will be able to explain and compare evidence-based interventions that are commonly used for anxiety-related disorders in children and adolescents in the treatment setting.

Research often indicates parent and family variables to the etiology and course of childhood anxiety disorders and has led to efforts to improve outcomes by involving parents in treatment (Lebowitz et al., 2020). Following this training, participants will be able to describe the role caregivers play in anxiety-related disorders in children and adolescents and will be able to identify techniques for working with caregivers in the treatment setting. Additionally, for several reasons, the school setting is particularly relevant among youth with anxiety. Within the educational system, student anxiety can be addressed within the context of guiding regulations and frameworks designed to maximize student success and promote positive outcomes (Conroy et al., 2022). Following this training, participants will also be able to describe school recommendations for youth with anxiety-related disorders. With regard to barriers, it can be especially challenging for parents to identify and make judgements about the extent or severity or a child’s anxiety (Reardon et al., 2018), which can result in lack of access to professional help. In completing this training, participants will be able to explain and compile techniques for addressing barriers when working with youth with anxiety-related disorders within the treatment setting.

Cognitive Behavior Institute has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7117. Programs that do not qualify for NBCC credit are clearly identified. Cognitive Behavior Institute is solely responsible for all aspects of the programs.

Cognitive Behavior Institute is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. Cognitive Behavior Institute maintains responsibility for content of this program. Social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors in Pennsylvania can receive continuing education from providers approved by the American Psychological Association. Since CBI is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education, licensed social workers, licensed marriage and family therapists, and licensed professional counselors in Pennsylvania will be able to fulfill their continuing education requirements by attending CBI continuing education programs.

The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) has a process for approving individual programs or providers for continuing education through their Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. ACE approved providers and individual courses approved by ASWB are not accepted by every state and regulatory board for continuing education credits for social workers. Every US state other than New York accepts ACE approval for social workers in some capacity: New Jersey only accepts individually approved courses for social workers, rather than courses from approved providers. The West Virginia board requires board approval for live courses, but accepts ASWB ACE approval for other courses for social workers. For more information, please see https://www.aswb.org/ace/ace-jurisdiction-map/. Whether or not boards accept ASWB ACE approved continuing education for other professionals such as licensed professional counselors or licensed marriage and family therapists varies by jurisdiction. To determine if a course can be accepted by your licensing board, please review your board’s regulations or contact them. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit.

If slides are being shared, they will be uploaded as a document within the course in Blue Sky and can be downloaded and printed as necessary. We are unable to respond to emails asking for the slides ahead of the presentation.

Questions about the Survey

When will I receive my course evaluation survey? Following the completion of the event, the survey will be unlocked and located within the course.

You must complete the survey within 14 calendar days following the event if you would like to receive a CE certificate.

We are unable to respond to emails from participants asking for confirmation that their course completion survey was received. If you clicked the SUBMIT button your survey was received.

How many suicide and ethics CE's will be issued? Please see the event page on https://www.cbicenterforeducation.com/for information about the training, including how much continuing education is offered and what type.

Will these CE's count toward my individual state licensure or another credential that I currently hold? It is the responsibility of the licensee to determine if trainings are acceptable as continuing education to their state’s licensure board or other credentialing body. Some of our trainings are individually approved for continuing education, such as through the Association of Social Work Boards individual course ACE Program. In addition, CBI is an approved provider of continuing education through the American Psychological Association CESA program and is an approved provider of continuing education to counselors, social workers, and psychologists in the state of New York. Many boards accept trainings that are individual approved or are offered by approved providers for continuing education. Please see the event page for the training you are interested in on our website https://www.cbicenterforeducation.com/for approvals that apply for each specific training.

Will you issue partial CE credits? No, we do not issue partial CE credits and therefore if you do not attend the training in its entirety, you will not be receiving a CE certificate. This is an APA and ASWB ACE requirement and is non-negotiable. Please refrain from emailing us explaining why you were unable to login to the event on time (this includes mixing up time zones and technical difficulties).

When will I receive my CE certificate? Upon completion of the event and survey, your certificate will immediately be available.

How will I receive my CE certificate? Your CE certificate will be available through your Blue Sky account and will also be directly sent to your email associated with your Blue Sky account. It will automatically be accessible to you once all previous criteria have been met.

I filled out the wrong email address or misspelled my name on my account registration. How do I get a new certificate? In the registration, it asks for the participant to fill out
their name, licensure, and license number. These fields automatically populate within our certificates. PLEASE NOTE: Any requested changes to the email entered after
registration or after the survey is complete will require a $5 processing fee. Additional changes to the produced CE certificate based off of information provided by the attendee will also require a $5 processing fee. CBI Center of Education is extremely lean administratively and utilizes technology to streamline our events in order to keep our trainings free to low cost. When we receive manual requests post registration, additional staff is needed to assist with these manual requests, thus the reason for the
change fees. Please reach out to info@cbicenterforeducation.com
