CBT with Children & Adolescents: Social Anxiety Disorder

New Zealand · CPD points & talks · Psychologists

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is one of the most common anxiety disorders in children and adolescents and can significantly interfere with school, friendships, and family life. This focused CPD training equips psychologists with a structured, evidence-based approach for using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to treat Social Anxiety Disorder in young clients.
