Description:
Approximately 27% of outpatients experience depression or depressive symptoms (Wang et al., 2017). Depression, while a common condition, can substantially impair a patient’s quality of life (Wang et al., 2017) and lead to increased risk of suicide (Dong, et al., 2019). Among those with major depressive disorder, the life prevalence of suicide attempts was 31% (Dong et al., 2019). While impairing, depression can be treated with CBT a gold-standard for treatment. In a meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials, CBT was shown to lead to a clinically significant drop in depressive symptoms as indicated by scores on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (Lepping et al, 2017), significant and sustained improvements in quality of life of adults (Hofmann, Curtiss, Carpenter, & Kind, 2017), and moderately reductions in depressive symptoms in children and adolescents (Oud et al., 2019). In addition, CBT has been shown to be an effective treatment in reducing depression that is resistant to pharmacological interventions (Nakagawa et al., 2017). CBT has also been shown to be effective in reducing suicidal behavior, regardless of starting severity in some RCTs (Bryan, Peterson, & Rudd, 2018), but this finding is not replicated in al studies (Riblet, Shiner, Young, & Watts, 2017).
In this training, participants will review DSM-5 symptoms for depression, learn how to treat depression and suicidality using CBT strategies, and explore the challenges of treating patients with depression, particularly those who endorse suicidal thoughts, virtually during a pandemic.

ACE approved providers and individual courses approved by ASWB are not accepted by every state and regulatory board for continuing education credits for social workers. Every US state other than New York accepts ACE approval for social workers in some capacity: New Jersey only accepts individually approved courses for social workers, rather than courses from approved providers.
