What is this webinar about?

Around 60% of people with anxiety disorders have also have comorbid depression. We also know that people with anxiety disorders and co-occurring depression have higher overall symptom severity and worse outcomes compared to either alone. While training and textbooks focus almost exclusively on protocols for treating anxiety and depression is isolation, the reality in practical clinical settings is that many clients present with both conditions. This practical workshop will examine some key techniques to help clients work on their comorbid anxiety and depression. We will focus on key questions such as which should be treated first? How do we manage psychoeducation? What might be the most useful therapeutic goals in comorbid cases? What are the protocols for transdiagnostic approaches such as the Unified Protocol?
