Child and Adolescent Mental Health Clinicians: Join me at the 10th annual CICAMH conference: “Critical Solutions for Critical Issues: Reinstilling Hope & Connection in Youth Mental Health.”

This year, we have particularly critical topics that focuses on equipping providers with practical strategies to promote mental well-being in youth mental health.

Set at the beautiful University of San Diego campus, topics will include: building resilience in youth, fostering parent engagement in treatment for youth anxiety and ADHD, incorporating video games in therapy, pathological demand avoidance in autism spectrum disorder, and addressing va**ng in teens.

Our conference aims to provide participants with evidence-based tools and innovative strategies to foster hope, healing, and resilience in youth and their communities.
