'Effective interventions for anxiety in children and young people' is a 3-day course from the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT), a leading provider of training for professionals working in mental health and related areas in the UK and Ireland.
It is the only training on this topic that is APT-accredited and also gives you access to APT’s relevant downloadable resources for use post-course. The course is available for teams/organisations and can be attended face-to-face or online. (2-day version also available.)
This is such an important topic for several reasons: first, its prevalence, anxiety is the single most common mental health problem in children and adolescents; second, the huge impairment it makes to the quality of life of the child and the child's family; third, the impairment to functioning in terms of concentration and exam performance; fourth, the long term consequences in terms of the schemas that are created by the child about him or herself and about those around them.
People who attend this course may be in one of two categories:
1. Professionals with a significant degree of clinical skill who wish to develop their expertise in the treatment of anxiety.
2. 'Whole teams' (either in inpatient or community or school settings) seeking to develop a common approach and a common level of expertise.
The professional affiliations of people suitable for attending this course include: mental health/psychiatric and school nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and others working in mental health or educational settings.
Knowing about, understanding, and developing informed empathy for major forms of anxiety: generalised anxiety disorder (where the child has a specific anxiety, for example about school, and this generalises to cloud virtually every moment); phobias, including social phobia or "shyness"; obsessive-compulsive disorder; panic disorder. This course majors on the first two of these, and touches on the latter two.
Teaching methods include lecture, case studies and other exercises, video, and quizzes.
You will be registered as having attended the course, thereby gaining APT's Level 1 accreditation, and receive a certificate to this effect. The accreditation gives you access to online resources associated with the course and access to the online exam if you wish to uprate your APT accreditation to Level 2.
Your registration lasts indefinitely, and your accreditation lasts for 3 years and is renewable by sitting an online refresher which also upgrades your accreditation to APT Level 2 if you are successful in the associated online exam.
Your accreditation is given value by the fact of over 150,000 people having attended APT training. See APT accreditation for full details.
