Workshops
We frequently run clinician-training workshops aimed at the understanding and treatment of various anxiety disorders. A number of topics can be covered including: Assessment and diagnosis of anxiety; Specialised workshops on adult social phobia, generalised anxiety disorder, or panic disorder, Specialised workshops on the nature and treatment of child and adolescent anxiety disorders, or a workshop on prevention programs in anxiety and depression. Workshops are typically one day, but can be organised as more "in-depth" and aim to provide practical skills and knowledge. Workshops are sometimes organised at Macquarie University, but can also be conducted in local areas on request.
