SELF-STUDY ONLINE SEMINAR
This seminar is clinically-based for anyone invested in improving their skills.
For only New York State Licensed LMSWs, LCSWs, LMHCs, and CASACs,
2 CEUs are available once the post-test and evaluation are completed.
What is Anxiety and what do
we need to know about Anxiety medications? Are benzodiazepine medications all
good, all bad, in between? What do we make of new research linking the use of
Xanax or Klonopin to Dementia? And, what do we make of the forensic cases
linking crimes involving the use of certain anxiolytic medications?
As clinician and advocate, you strive to be informed so you help your patients and clients make informed decision. Learning the truth about Anxiolytics is more than necessary and will make a difference in your thinking, clinical skills and practice.

- Learned the framework of the Socratic Motivational Practice to Understand Anxiolytics.
- Learned the Principles, Techniques of the Socratic Motivational Practice to work with patients and clients who take anti-anxiety medications.
- Increased your tools to talking with patients and clients, by identifying at least one thing you will start doing differently at the end of the seminar, as a result of the Socratic Motivational Practice framework.
