State Farm Insurance recently awarded ADAA with a grant to help us develop a new Spanish-language online peer-to-peer support community as part of our ongoing efforts to provide enhanced resources for our Hispanic community. We are in the process of working with Health Unlocked to develop the Spanish language site and anticipate an end of August launch date. ADAA's online anxiety and depression support group is a free, friendly, safe and supportive place for individuals and their families to share information and experiences. The support group was launched in November of 2016 and now has close to 6,000 subscribers. We are grateful to State Farm for their generous support. We would also like to thank ADAA member Karen Martinez and the ADAA Multicultural Advances SIG for assisting with the translation of the community content.

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.

A new study has pinpointed how one particular gene plays a central role in depression — either protecting from stress or triggering a downward spiral, depending on its level of activity. The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, is the first to illuminate in detail how this particular gene, which is known as Slc6a15, works in a kind of neuron that plays a key role in depression.

For many, being anxious, stressed or even being too excited can cause sleepless nights. Although emotions are recognized to affect wakefulness and even cause insomnia, the underlying mechanisms for why this occurs has been unclear.

Leaving her office on Elena Avenue in Redondo Beach, Sepideh Saremi crossed a couple of streets, walked down a sloping path to the beach, then began to run north, toward the pier.
