Recognizing Anxiety and Depression in Clients – Presented by Julie Anderson, LMFT

The political climate of our times has in many cases heightened anxiety and fear in our clients.  At the same time there are national media campaigns helping to increase awareness of depression and anxiety. Can you recognize depression and anxiety in your clients?  If so, do you feel comfortable having the conversation around these topics? This presentation will familiarize you with the definitions, identify the signs, learn what questions to ask your clients to be productive with these sensitive issues, and gain a deeper understanding of how to help and when to refer to a counselor.
