Description

A Message From Your Presenter... 

As a psychiatrist, I see my job as serving YOU, the therapist. 

I see clients less often and I rely on you as the main person in the trenches, working with our clients and their families. So, when I prescribe medication, I want to support your work. I need you to know what I’m thinking.    

I believe that effective medication treatment relies on a strong partnership between you and prescribers.  

That’s why I’m inviting you to this unique training. By cultivating these collaborative relationships, you can enhance the coordination of care, promote holistic treatment approaches, and ultimately improve outcomes for clients and families.  

Drawing from my own experiences working with mental health colleagues, my training provides a roadmap for you to establish these strong partnerships—empowering you to actively contribute to the mediation treatment process. 

Please join me, as I guide you through an overview of the latest information on responsible prescribing, complete with case-based best practices in responsible prescribing for children and adolescents. Together, we can create a more integrated and comprehensive approach to mental health care for children and teens! 

I look forward to your participation! 

Joshua Feder, MD
