Only 31% of children suffering from anxiety and related disorders currently receive evidence-based treatment. In an effort to reach more children, the Public Education Committee in conjunction with the Child and Adolescent SIG created a powerpoint presentation for therapists to show pediatricians entitled, Anxiety Disorders & OCD: What Every Pediatrician Should Know. The presentation serves as both a way to educate pediatricians about anxiety disorders and OCD as well as provide a means for therapists to network with pediatricians and grow their practices. This webinar will demonstrate how to best use this powerpoint presentation. We will review the prevalence rates, the consequences of untreated anxiety and what pediatricians see when presented with an anxious child. Brief anxiety and accommodation screening tools, that can be used by pediatricians, will be discussed. Therapists will also be given ideas as to the best ways to teach pediatricians how to talk to their patients suffering from anxiety. We will then show you a brochure that was developed to accompany this powerpoint and can be personalized and used to market your practice. The webinar will end with a discussion of fun and effective ways to get pediatricians interested in meeting with you.

Ruth and ADAA

"I feel privileged to be a founding fellow of the ADAA. I joined ADAA over 20 years ago and have considered it my professional home ever since. I have worked on numerous committees throughout my time as a member and am currently the co-chair of the Child & Adolescent SIG. I have also truly enjoyed being a mentor in the Career Development Leadership Program (CDLP) where I have been able to support others in building their careers.

To be part of such a dedicated community of fellow clinicians and researchers treating anxiety disorders, OCD and depression has been invaluable to me. It has allowed me to stay current with the research and cutting-edge treatments and it has provided me with numerous opportunities for continuing education. But more than that, it has given me colleagues (some of whom are now good friends), across the country, that I can collaborate with and always turn to for advice and support in respect to my professional endeavors. However, I would be remiss if I did not mention what is the highlight of every year—the annual ADAA conference which I have sorely missed during COVID-19. It is a time to learn, get reinvigorated about the work you do and to reconnect and have fun with fellow ADAA members!

Finally, I am still pleased that in 2012 I was honored, along with Elizabeth Dupont Spencer and Kimberly Morrow, with the ADAA 2012 Clinician’s Outreach Award."
