When you work in community mental health your caseloads are diverse. Clients have any number of conditions, and more often than not, more than one at the same time. But the explosion of specific treatment manuals for each DSM disorder can leave you wondering – how do I find the time to learn all of these approaches? And with distinct required trainings for each modality, agencies can struggle as the costs stack up. Now there’s a better way. Proven effective in over 70 rigorous clinical trials, the Unified Protocol allows you to target core deficits across the neurotic spectrum so you can simultaneously reduce symptomology of co-occurring disorders with just one protocol. In this session you’ll join, Dr. Shannon Sauer-Zavala, co-developer of the UP, as she introduces you to the transdiagnostic emotion-focused treatment principles and strategies already being used by thousands of clinicians for improved treatment outcomes.
