Benefits
This live audio conference will address the current thinking and diagnostic skills necessary to diagnose and treat bipolar children and their families. The missing pieces will also be discussed, which is adequate educational planning. How to work collaboratively with a treating psychiatrist and how to be an advocate for the child and family if the child is not receiving the most up-to-date treatment will also be discussed.
