Cultural Competency: Latina Immigrant Model of Non-Traditional Approaches to PMADS
Presented by Sherrie Segovia, PsyD
VideoAudio
Course: #1055Level: Intermediate1 Hour
According to recent research and statistics, Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD)s are highly prominent in the Latina immigrant community.

Many cultural norms and socio-political and economic barriers influence the recognition of PMADs and access to services. This presentation will review various cultural beliefs and social barriers that prevent identification and treatment. Additionally, there will be a discussion about potentially effective and non-traditional approaches to working with vulnerable Latina clients. Finally, a proposal of culturally responsive models will be provided as a therapeutic framework.

ADHD in Young Children: Development and Diagnosis
Presented by Doug Tynan, PhD, ABPP
Video
Course: #1043Level: Intermediate2 Hours
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common behavioral diagnostic group in children and adolescents. Signs and symptoms emerge, in most cases, in the second year of life. However, all children are very active and tend to have short attention spans in the preschool years. Diagnosis must be carried out within the context of the range of typical behaviors at each age. Interventions also need to be age-appropriate. While ADHD is often referred to as a mental disorder, it may be far more useful to think of it as a developmental delay with intervention focused on the development of skills rather than the amelioration of a disorder.
