Lunch 'n' Learn Webinar: Coping Cat: A Gold-Standard CBT for Child Anxiety
Synopsis: Childhood anxiety disorders are quite common and can be incredibly impairing. The child, the parents, and teachers often feel helpless in the face of anxiety and fear. Moreover, the default parent and teacher responses often inadvertently reinforce the problem. Coping Cat is a gold standard CBT treatment, delivered in a child-friendly, developmentally appopriate format with adult support. This webinar will provide an overview of the Coping Cat and help real-world clinicians apply this treatment. We will discuss ways of applying the Coping Cat to a variety of anxiety presentations and disorders and to youth presenting with multiple problems.
