Minneapolis, MN US
August 21, 2015

Course Directors: Paul E. Croarkin, D.O., Jarrod M. Leffler, Ph.D., L.P.


This interactive course will focus on recent developments in the diagnosis, assessment, and multimodal treatment planning for pediatric depression and related conditions such as medical comorbidities, ADHD, eating disorders, and anxiety. Course faculty will emphasize an evidence-based approach and highlight cutting edge research findings with structured psychotherapeutic techniques and psychopharmacology. Throughout the day, sessions will include self-assessment activities (with audience response system) and interactive discussions with faculty. These sessions will facilitate challenging case discussions (generated by participants and course faculty) and treatment planning for children and adolescents with depression and comorbid disorders.
