Resources for Clinical Fellows

Pediatrician Outreach Project

Exclusive ADAA member benefit: How can we inform parents and pediatricians about child anxiety? Why spend hours of your own time trying to create material that effectively and concisely communicates the CBT based services that you offer your clients? Let ADAA do the hard work for you. Members can download and access an ADAA Pediatric Outreach PowerPoint presentation and a customizable brochure to help parents and providers learn more about anxiety in children. Both products summarize empirically supported treatment protocols for anxiety and related disorders. These communication tools will assist in facilitating richer working relationships and clinical collaboration with physicians in your community.
