Team-Based Care: Anxiety and Stress in Children and Adolescents - Part 2

Team-Based Care Podcast Logo

Team-Based Care is a podcast for the interprofessional healthcare team. Produced by the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health - Office of Continuing Professional Development, speakers from different professions explore a topic or theme that is evidence based, relevant to their practice, and has an interprofessional lens.

Anxiety is the most prevalent mental health problem affecting children and adolescents, frequently exacerbated by commonly occurring stressors. Despite this, anxiety symptoms often go undetected, leading to worsening of symptoms and clinical outcomes including negative impact on learning, social relationships, and general health.

In this two-part podcast of Team-Based Care, we will discuss the most common subtypes of anxiety disorders, and the relationship of anxiety with stress.

  • Part 1 will focus on the clinical assessment of separation, social, and generalized anxiety disorders including the use of standardized symptom screening measures.
  • Part 2 will discuss treatment interventions for anxiety and stress including specific psychotherapeutic skills, and the role of pharmacotherapy.

A team-based approach to care will be emphasized in all aspects of the discussions.

Our guest host for this episode is Dr. Marcia Slattery, MD, MHSc. She is a Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, and the Director of the UW Health Pediatric Anxiety Disorders program. Dr. Slattery has extensive experience in the clinical assessment, treatment, and research of youth with pediatric anxiety disorders and stress.
