MORNING WORKSHOP

PsychUpdates: The Serrano Collection
December 3 | 9:00AM-12:30PM (ET) | 3.0 Mainpro+ | $395 tuition
Mental health issues consume nearly a third of primary care. Furthermore, psychological expertise is crucial in nearly all patient encounters to optimize adherence and outcomes.

Detailed Information

PsychUpdates deliver the concise, cutting-edge reviews you need to keep your psychology skills sharp. Each session delivers practice-changing tools from the latest research from across the key areas in mental health. 

 Unlike CBT Canada's core modules, which provide tools customized for twelve distinct clinical areas, PsychUpdates offer you a broad and brisk experience. Each review draws at least one paper with practical implications from each of the following clinical domains:


addiction medicine

family psychology

pain medicine

adolescent psychiatry

forensic psychiatry

personality disorders

anxiety disorders

functional disorders

positive psychology

behavioral medicine

geriatric psychiatry

psychedelic therapy

chronic care

grief management

PTSD

couples counseling

health psychology

sleep medicine

depressive disorders

mindfulness interventions

social anxiety

digital mental health

non-compliance

suicide prevention

evolutionary psychiatry

occupational medicine

vaccine refusal

The PsychUpdate corpus now includes five unique collections. Serrano is brand-new, debuting on December 3, 2026 in collaboration with McGill University. Each collection explores novel areas to broaden your professional and personal expertise.  


AFTERNOON WORKSHOP

Teen CBT: Guiding Adolescent Growth
December 3 | 1:00PM-4:30PM (ET) | 3.0 Mainpro+ | $395 tuition

Over 50% of kids in grades 7–12 have at least moderate symptoms of anxiety or depression, up from under 25% a decade ago. More alarmingly, 18% of today's teens have contemplated suicide—and 19% have self-harmed (OSDUHS).


Detailed Information

The adolescent years—so formative and never easy—are now plagued with strange new stressors. When treating today's teens, many doctors feel like time travellers who never got the manual. This module will equip you, the time-travelling physician, with the tools and confidence needed to confront today's unprecedented challenges:

1. Device addictions fragmenting focus and dulling real life;
2. Social media cultivating comparison and catalyzing contagion;
3. Narcissism eroding empathy and straining bonds;
4. Pornography perverting expectations and contaminating intimacy;
5. Sleep deprivation driving burnout and volatile emotions;
6. Commitment phobia delaying relationships and childrearing;
7. Safetyism fostering fragility and chronic timidity;
8. Incel ideology promoting misogyny and predation;
9. Eco-rumination generating angst and despair; and
10. Violent gaming driving desensitization and reactivity.

The Teen CBT module concludes with a briefing on the most strategic findings from GPA Science: Research-Backed Methods to Improve Grades.

Please join your fellow time-travellers at Teen CBT. We promise you'll gain many practical, evidence-based tools to guide adolescent growth in our strange new times.
