  ADAA is excited to welcome a new honorary Board member, Michael Gleason. Michael joins the ADDA board this month. Michael is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consumer Brands LLC, an innovative technology and online media company based in Southern California. The company's subsidiary, Healthcare Brands LLC, is the publisher of a network of healthcare websites including Anxiety.org.

We look forward to working together.
 Meet Noah B. Clayman, LCSW-R, ACT
Director: NYC Cognitive Therapy
ADAA Member Since 2014
I joined ADAA in 2014 to increase professional connections and friendships, and to stay abreast on the most cutting edge treatments. Aside from making the decision to pursue post-graduate training in CBT, the act of joining ADAA has been the most important step of my professional career. I am thankful to be a part of ADAA for many reasons. (1) ADAA has one of the best annual conferences for mental health providers. (2) The conference includes workshops that target psychotherapy conceptualization and methods, with particular focus on evidence-based approaches, and I have gotten to meet many of the world-renowned educators and leaders in the field whose writings inspired my work. (3) ADAA has afforded me opportunities to teach workshops at the annual conference. For example, I had the honor of co-teaching the workshop session, " Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy: A Novel Approach to Changing Core Beliefs in CBT" with TBCT creator Dr. Irismar Reis De Oliveira, MD. (4) Conferences are held in cities that are fun to visit and explore outside of conference times. (5) unlike other conferences I have attended, the ADAA conference is not overwhelming in scale, there is always something stimulating to attend, and there are no additional fees to see your favorite presenter.

Addressing Perfectionism Across Anxiety Disorders in Children and Adolescents: Learning to Live by Values Instead of by Rules
 Featuring: Lynne Siqueland, PhD
Fortunately, CBT has much to offer perfectionistic youth. In this webinar, Dr. Lynne Siqueland (based on the Master Clinician workshop presented at Anxiety and Depression Conference 2017 with Dr. Deborah Ledley) will share strategies for working with this challenging population. Children and teens with very high standards and expectations for themselves often do not want or are fearful of challenging their thinking or changing their behavior. Furthermore, high standards tend to be positively reinforced by families, schools, and society. With this in mind, this webinar will discuss ways to build rapport and engage this challenging population in treatment.

Clinical Kung Fu: Managing Anger in Children and Teens with Anxiety Disorders
 Featuring: Alison R. Alden, PhD, and Julieanne R. Pojas, PsyD
Children and adolescents with anxiety disorders often act out or react with anger to treatment. In particular, the prospect of doing exposure and resisting compulsions or safety behaviors can engender not only fear but also anger, resistance, and defiance. This can take the form of tantrums, threats of harm to self or others when parents insist on treatment, overt treatment refusal and refusal to participate in other activities of daily living such as school. This can be difficult for clinicians and families to manage, and can lead to both treatment dropout and conflict at home. This workshop will present practical strategies that clinicians can use to deal with children;s anger, and suggestions for how to present these strategies to parents. Topics covered will include managing tantrums, what to do when a child refuses to participate in treatment or school, and managing verbal and physical aggression toward others.
View/register for all upcoming webinars.

The findings could lead to new ways to diagnose and treat people at higher risk for anxiety-related conditions, the researchers suggest. The small study, published in the journal Emotion, involved 56 mentally healthy students who underwent MRI scans of their brains.

Good sleep is essential for our mental well-being. Just one night of disturbed sleep can leave us feeling cranky, flat, worried or sad the next day. So it's no surprise sleeping problems, like difficulty falling asleep, not getting enough sleep or regularly disrupted sleep patterns, are associated with anxiety and depression.
