Now We See You - Adolescent Depression
Sat | April 9th | 10am-2:30pm EST | 4 CE's | Ellen Blaufox, LCSW-R
Class Description
Depression is often misdiagnosed and untreated in adolescents, particularly female teens of color. This workshop provides vital information to ensure that helping professionals can recognize the signs & symptoms of adolescent depression. Special attention is paid to the issues and concerns for historically underserved youth. We will highlight how the race and gender of both the client and the clinician impact the diagnosis and treatment; this workshop uses both didactic and interactive, experiential teaching methods. Connections are made in regard to historical trauma, family history, and the impact of social constructs on mental health. Concrete treatment interventions will be provided to increase more accurate assessment and prognosis. Learning Objectives 1. Assess the differences between adult and adolescent /childhood depression. 2.) Determine best practices for determining depression in adolescents 4.) Provide concrete treatment interventions to decrease depressive symptoms. 4.) Identify greater awareness of unconscious (or conscious) racial & gender bias in diagnosing depression in youth. The Presenter: Ellen Blaufox has accumulated more than twenty years of both clinical and practical experience as a Therapist, Executive Coach, and Professional Speaker. She knows that the key ingredients in a therapeutic relationship are safety, transparency, and, most importantly, optimism and hope. Ellen's clinical know-how traverses the human lifespan with particular expertise in the transitions we go through as we move into adulthood, across various milestones (identity, career, family), and into aging. Ellen will guide you as you shift out of that "stuck" feeling that comes from unconscious habits, patterns, and negative thinking. She empowers you to make the positive changes in your life that you desire by promoting health and wellbeing. Ellen's approach to therapy is collaborative and solution-focused. She utilizes proven, evidence-based methods in various modalities (individual, family, and group). She has particular expertise with survivors of complex stress, trauma, and issues related to social injustice. Her understanding of trauma is particularly helpful for those struggling with the challenges associated with the current global pandemic.
