LIVE ONLINE WORKSHOP

Friday, March 12, 2021

9am - 5pm (EST*)

6 CEUs for LMSWs, LCSWs, LMHCs, and CASACs


In order for us to be effective at treating anxiety, we first must have a better understanding of it. What is anxiety, exactly? What is it a function of? How many of us have felt or have been taught that anxiety was not something we had control of, but rather was something we could only manage because the cause of it was external to us?

Despite the fact that anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions our patients and clients deal with, we still do not have an adequate response to resolve it entirely.

But... what if we did?

What if we stopped focusing on managing the symptoms of anxiety, and instead, worked to get to the root cause of anxiety... and, what if we actually discovered that anxiety is completely within our control and we can help end the suffering of our patients and clients, and ourselves.

Please join us, and let's work together to end anxiety.


At the end of this workshop, you will have:

  1. Learned what exactly anxiety is, what it is a function of, and how to move from managing symptoms to resolution of symptoms entirely.
  2. Dismantled the myth that some anxiety is helpful for us.
  3. Mastered the Quadruple Attack Theory and how it applies to our patients and clients.
  4. Learned and mastered the use of CBT and other techniques to put an end to anxiety.


Friends: We look forward to continuing to serve you; so you help cease suffering for our patients and clients; and so you help elevate your agency, yourself, and the field as a whole.


Please note: This is a full-day online workshop where all three modules will be presented.

Course Modules that will be covered:

  1. Effective Treatments for Anxiety
  2. CBT for Anxiety
  3. Treating Anxiety without Medication


There will be approximately two 15-minute breaks and a 1-hour Lunch Break.


HERE'S WHAT OUR ATTENDEES ARE SAYING ABOUT SWEET SEMINARS:

"I now feel I have more tools and concepts to think about in working with anxiety. Empowerment of our clients I think is a very effective tool."

- Jeanne, LCSW

"Substituting vs. Reframing - bringing clarity to both. As well as lots of great new approaches to treatment of Anxiety, i.e. Thought Proactivity. I've done 8 weeks of CBT Anxiety Training with another institution, but this seems to be a lot more practical and easy to work with. Thanks Mardoche & Karen. You guys are awesome!"

- Feona, LCSW

"There is an enormous amount of information to cover on this topic. I truly appreciate the level of Dr. Sidor's knowledge. Looking forward to implementing my skills in the future! I am delighted to be a new member: bravo, SWEET!"

- Kim, LMSW

"A good understanding of what is behind anxiety. Good presentation and new ways of looking at anxiety that I had not heard before."

- Jennifer, LICSW

"I believe I can and certainly will use the techniques and working with my patients who have significant issues with anxiety. Some of the most helpful techniques include getting the patient to buy into the treatment approach, including actions that need to be taken, follow-up, screening for the various manifestations of feelings, thoughts, behavior, attitudes, and perceptions in treating anxiety. I also find it very helpful to remember the instructor's reminders to provide clients with manageable tasks that can lead to successful behavior change and such, that improve the quality of life for them."

- Louis, LCSW



There are a handful of states that the NASW does not cover because those states want to maintain their independent authority to approve, or not, providers and courses. In New York State, the Office of Professions controls the approval process. We are an approved provider by the NY State Office of Professions. In other words:

  • In the State of New York, SWEET Institute is approved by the Office of Professions under Dr. Sidor Psychiatric Services as a CEU provider for social workers (#SW-0471) and mental health counselors (#MHC-0127).
  • Our live and self-study webinars are individually approved by the NASW National CE Approval Program in 46 additional states. SWEET courses are NOT approved by the NASW National CE Approval Program in: Michigan, New Jersey, and West Virginia.
