Webinar: Assessing Children and Adolescents: Effective Screening and Identification

This webinar equips clinicians working with young people with practical frameworks for when to screen, what to use, and how to interpret the results in real clinical practice.

Watching someone move from stuck to unstuck—from self-criticism to self-compassion, from avoidance to action—never gets old. And then, about two years ago, I made a big change.
