Therapists want to help depressed and suicidal clients feel better as quickly as possible.

To help you do this, Dr. Padesky presents effective cutting edge ideas for clinical practice, all based in current research. Learn how to individualize suicide interventions, respond to client pessimism, match therapy methods to targeted symptoms and predict whether booster sessions will help or not. This master clinician reveals a wealth of Best Practices. Join us in Ottawa, Toronto or Vancouver for her new state-of-the-art workshop.

“Christine Padesky never fails to deliver. Even though I would rate myself as being an advanced practitioner, I have learned a great deal from the workshop. Her friendly, approachable style is second to none.”

Participant comment from London 2012 workshop

Who should attend?

This workshop is for mental health professionals and not the general public. It is aimed at psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, physicians, occupational therapists, counsellors and graduate students.

Intermediate level therapists, those who have already been working with CBT models for depression and suicide will find the workshop addresses a variety of issues that come up when applying standard treatments in real-world settings.
Advanced therapists will find some new ideas and new takes on familiar ideas to help sharpen their practice and reduce "drift" from evidenced based practice.
Beginning CBT therapists can't do better than to begin depression work with best practices in mind!
