 Project Thrive
ADAA and Pedestal Foods were delighted to participate as a poster presenter for the July 12 NIMH 2017 Outreach Partnership Program Annual Meeting in Bethesda, Maryland. ADAA Executive Director Susan Gurley, ADAA Board President Karen Cassiday, and Howard Curtis, Vice President of Marketing, were in attendance (pictured in photo). The Project Thrive initiative is rooted in positive psychology and launched in late 2016 at a high school in Nashville, Tennessee. Pedestal Foods is a contract food services company with clients in higher education, assisted living and K-12. Pedestal Foods and their customers have identified student wellness, specifically in the area of anxiety, depression and suicide, as a major challenge and opportunity. ADAA and Pedestal Foods are taking action together to address these issues.
Under the leadership of President Karen Cassiday, ADAA has created an evidence-based protocol for the company to train their staff and create experiences in the dining areas that promote student mental wellness. Project Thrive helps create moments of joy for students and offer resources for those in need of support.

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.
