Over the last few weeks, ADAA leadership has been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and global health crisis and its ongoing potential impact for our attendees, staff, exhibitors, and sponsors in connection with our 2020 Conference scheduled to be held in San Antonio, TX from March 19-22.
On Monday, March 9, ADAA made the very difficult decision that we have no alternative but to cancel the ADAA 2020 Conference.
As difficult as this decision is, we hope you will agree that the health and safety of our membership, our attendees, staff, exhibitors, sponsors, and our communities are our top priority.
We want to recognize and thank the ADAA members who contributed so many dedicated hours to organizing the 2020 meeting - in particular the Conference Committee co-chairs, Dr. Cindy Aaronson and Dr. Adriana Feder and all the committee members; our CDLP co-chairs, Dr. Tanja Jovanovic, Dr. Alicia Meuret, Dr. Jill Emanuele and Kari Gregory; the small but amazing ADAA staff, including the Stellato Meeting Solutions team. We know how hard everyone has worked to create a much anticipated dynamic and exciting program for the 2020 40th Celebration Conference.
Please continue to let us know (by emailing conference@adaa.org) of any institutional travel bans, which may help us in our effort to reduce ADAA’s liability to the hotels and vendors as we discuss the financial impact of the cancellation with them.
Important: As all airline and hotel costs are your own responsibility – you will need to cancel your hotel and airline reservations directly. Please reference your hotel confirmation email for instructions on how to cancel online.
If you registered for #ADAA2020, please complete this conference survey to let ADAA know how to handle your registration fees. Please refrain from emailing ADAA staff directly as you will be referred back to this survey.
ADAA is currently researching options to be able to provide you with virtual access to as much content from the conference as possible. For those of you who were scheduled to present (session and poster presenters) we will be in touch soon. We recognize that many of you rely on this conference to meet your professional continuing education requirements and are also working to ensure that any virtual content presented will be CE/CME eligible.

Distinguishing Suicidal Ideation from Intrusive Self-Harm OCD
Presented by Mike Heady, MA
Thursday, April 23, 2020 at 12:00 pm EST
Individuals suffering with intrusive self-harm OCD frequently misattribute their thoughts for genuine suicidal ideation. Well-intentioned therapists, who do not know how to differentiate genuine suicidal ideation from intrusive and unwanted obsessions, often encourage their clients to get suicide risk evaluations from local ERs. However, this behavior can steer the individual with self-harm OCD further into their disorder, increasing distress and severity of symptoms. In this workshop, attendees will learn how to assess for and differentiate intrusive, unwanted self-harm obsessions that occur in OCD from genuine suicidal ideation and planning. This differentiation is key to providing adequate treatment.
 Race, Stress, and Black Mother and Infant Mortality: Emotional Health Matters
Presented by Angela Neal-Barnett, PhD and Christin Farmer Kane, BA
Thursday, May 21, 2020 at 12:00 pm EST
Within the United States, Black maternal and infant mortality has reached alarming rates. Black mothers and infants are 2.5 times more likely to die than their white counterparts. The major contributing factor is stress, particularly stress produced by structural racism. In this webinar led by a clinical psychological scientist and community-based doula, we present an overview of the role of race-related stress in Black maternal and infant mortality. We examine the psychosocial and biological data on its impact on mothers and babies. We present evidence on how stress is viewed by various groups of expectant and post-partum Black mothers. Barriers to implement stress and anxiety interventions with this population are discussed. Finally, we present data on our culturally-relevant community-engaged partnership to reduce the effects of stress and anxiety on expectant Black mothers.
Just Announced! Treating Anxiety and Depression in Gender Diverse Populations
Presented by Lauren Wadsworth, PhD
Wednesday, June 3, 2020 at 12:00 pm EST
Gender diverse children, teens, and adults are becoming increasingly comfortable coming out and expressing their gender identities. As clinicians we need to meet this social change with an increase in our cultural humility and competency working with individuals who identify as gender minorities/gender diverse/rising gender identities. We must become more practiced with the vocabulary surrounding gender identity and increase our comfort discussing the social impacts of expressing a stigmatized identity. Gender diverse individuals face unique stressors, paired with increased risk for developing anxiety and depression. This webinar will discuss population specific components of anxiety and depression development (e.g. role of stigma, coming out), and will provide tangible ways to provide more accurate and affirming research, and/or more culturally informed therapy.
 Anxiety and Depression Treatment for Immigrant, Refugee, and Asylee Clients
Presented by Rachel Singer, PhD
Thursday, September 10, 2020 at 12:00 pm EST
This webinar will provide an overview of strategies for integrating multiculturally competent strategies into evidence-based treatment of anxiety and depression for immigrants, refugees, and asylees. Specific tools for addressing barriers to treatment and incorporating resources will also be addressed. Discussion will focus on strategies for conceptualizing and treating clients from a systemic perspective. This training will also include case application and discussion of practical tools. Participants will have an opportunity for discussion and questions.

 Jennifer Sy, PhD
“My first ADAA conference and introduction to ADAA was in Santa Ana Pueblo, NM in 2009 as a second-year graduate student when my research lab went as a road trip (eleven years ago!). I enjoyed attending the conference and have attended several ADAA conferences since! I think the intersection of researchers and clinicians at ADAA makes for great dialogue and fresh perspectives at the annual conferences. I always look forward to the Q&A portion when I present a talk, because the audience members bring a diverse array of perspectives to the discussion which helps everyone think more critically about their own knowledge of the topic.”
“ADAA is a great place to find topics for continuing education on a wide variety of topics, which is very useful when encountering co-occurring diagnoses/problems. My colleagues at Houston OCD Program and I have used ADAA's webinars (most recently Jonathan Grayson's webinar on Strategic Pressure) as a mini-lunch and learn for our office and had a discussion afterwards about how we could implement aspects of what we learned in our clinical practice.”
Dr. Jennifer Sy is a clinical psychologist at the Houston OCD Program. Dr. Sy’s clinical and research interests focus on optimization of exposure therapy for anxiety disorders, particularly in OCD, panic disorder, and social anxiety. Since many individuals present with co-occurring anxiety and OC-spectrum disorders, she is particularly interested in helping clients identify common behaviors/thought processes that occur across diagnoses so they can apply what they learn in treatment to other areas of their lives.

When psychologist Dr. Mary Alvord speaks with her patients about their coronavirus concerns at her practice in Rockville, Maryland — where the governor confirmed a state of emergency after three cases were reported — or when she scrolls through social media with posts often filled with misinformation, she keeps thinking back to another time when she experienced a similar level of widespread fear.

These days, Millennials are being called the "anxious generation." And according to a recent survey by Business Insider, they're also "lonely, burned out and depressed." Half of Millennials, along with 75 percent of Gen-Zers, have left a job for mental health reasons. Moreover, burnout — now classified by the World Health Organization as an occupational phenomenon — is affecting a wide swath of younger workers as they deal with increasing workloads and on-the-job stress, not to mention the rise in 24/7 workplace connectivity.

In an era of inescapable and unreliable news coverage, across platforms from social media to television and radio, it is difficult to avoid a sense of information overload. A new study by Brooke Auxier and Jessica Vitak at the University of Maryland tackles questions raised by the current crisis in media bias, information overload and misinformation, using survey data collected with Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. The authors explain, “Before long, due to user-initiated customization and algorithmic personalization, their digital news environment will likely be saturated with content that only explores a narrow viewpoint.”

In a recently released issue of Pediatrics, Dr. Gewirtz O'Brien and colleagues compare the mental health of teens who have run away from home with those who experienced unaccompanied homelessness.

It can be hard to wear your heart on your sleeve, especially in a society that discourages healthy conversations surrounding mental health. In a survey conducted by the National Alliance on Mental Illness in 2012, it was found that of the millions of college students who suffer from mental health issues, only 50 percent choose to disclose their mental health condition to their college or university. According to survey results, the top reason students do not disclose this information was “fear or concern for the impact disclosing would have on how students, faculty, and staff perceive them, including within mental health degree programs.”
These statistics show that students shy away from seeking help due to fear of judgement from others.

There are many causes of anxiety. It is rare for someone to be okay in every facet of their life before one event throws them into disorder territory. Therefore, we must investigate the many varied causes of stress in order to come to terms with the environment sufferers live within. We know that one main driver of anxiety is diet, as a new study from a team of Canadian researchers confirms.
Publishing their findings in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, lead author, Karen Davidson at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, says that "for those who consumed less than three sources of fruits and vegetables daily, there was at least at 24 percent higher odds of anxiety disorder diagnosis."

Chronic pain can keep kids from being social and active, leading to anxiety and depression, a child psychiatrist says.
Unfortunately, this can turn into a vicious cycle — worsening depression and anxiety can also worsen pain perception.
Between five percent and twenty percent of children live with chronic pain. It usually takes the form of bone and muscle pain, headaches or abdominal pain.
