An Introduction to CBT Strategies: Working with Adults With Anxiety and/or Depression

Specific training in several core CBT strategies including breathing and relaxation techniques, behavioural and exposure methods, and cognitive therapy training will be covered. The workshop will include didactic presentation, case-based discussion, and opportunity for practice of skills.
