Psychopharmacology: Essential Information for Mental Health Professionals

When your therapy clients are taking medication, there's a lot to keep up with.

Getting accurate information about prescriptions, expected benefits, and side effects… collaborating with treatment co-providers to track progress… staying current with relevant ethics and scope of practice issues…

Working with clients who use medication is complex, and while many training programs and clinical placements have covered the surface issues...

…most busy therapists have been left on their own to figure out effective ways of providing co-treatment.

That's why we're offering access to this live online training — our most popular psychopharamacology seminar — COMPLETELY FREE!

In just one engaging day, you'll get the guidance and tools you need to approach the medication issues you see in your practice with confidence.

Join Kenneth Carter, PhD, ABPP, as he delivers complicated information in an easy-to-learn, easy-to-implement manner.
