Live and interactive, 3 Category 1 CEUs*.

Join us for an overview of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), an evidence-based treatment proven to effectively address a range of mental health concerns, particularly depression and anxiety. This workshop will provide a comprehensive understanding of IPT theory and techniques through engaging didactic presentations, interactive group discussions, and a review of real-world examples from videotaped sessions led by expert therapists.

This event is ideal for mental health clinicians and students eager to enhance their therapeutic skills.
