NEW THIS YEAR! - CACAP Institute 
Saturday September 14, 2019 | 1:00pm to 5:00pm

At our 2019 annual meeting, we will launch the CACAP Institute series: a pre-conference event devoted to examining key topics in child and youth mental health in more depth than what is possible during the main conference. Our inaugural Institute will focus on Psychopharmacology, with a special emphasis on the pharmacological treatments of ADHD and Psychosis, using a combination of lectures and workshop approaches. Drs. Sabina Abidi and Daniel Gorman have prepared a superb program, detailing their approaches in designing and implementing pharmacological treatment plans for patients with these disorders. They will review the latest data on these topics, balancing risks and benefits of different approaches in treating youth.
