We have been working all year to disseminate research, train clinicians and educate the public — and we'll continue to do so next year. You can help us continue in our mission with your contributions. Please give to help us improve the lives of those struggling with anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD and depression.
In 2016 Philadelphia is the location of the Anxiety and Depression Conference, where you can share research and clinical experiences, help translate ideas, learn new practice strategies and techniques, connect with leaders in the field, build your network, hone your skills and get inspired. You can also earn CE or CME credits. Register today!
Another way to earn CE credits is through our monthly webinars. ADAA is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education credits for psychologists, granted on a 1 credit per contract basis.
Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to our mission.
