Description:
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), in 2019, 15.8% of adults aged 18 and over took prescription medication for their mental health in the past year and 9.5% received counseling or therapy from a mental health professional in the past year (Terlizzi & Zablotsky, 2020). Over the past 2 ½ years, we have seen a rise in this number due to COVID19 and it is now estimated that more than 24% of Americans are now taking prescription mental health medication.This program will provide a comprehensive overview of psychopharmacologic medications. The mechanism of action, pertinent pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, and side effects of the following medication classes will be reviewed: anxiolytics, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and atypical antipsychotics (Stahl, 2021; Miller, 2020). Strategies to manage adverse side effects and promote compliance will also be covered (Kamimura-Nishimura, Brinkman, & Froehlich, 2019; MacDaniels, & Schwartz, 2016).

Social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors in Pennsylvania can receive continuing education from providers approved by the American Psychological Association. Since CBI is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education, licensed social workers, licensed marriage and family therapists, and licensed professional counselors in Pennsylvania will be able to fulfill their continuing education requirements by attending CBI continuing education programs. For professionals outside the state of Pennsylvania, you must confirm with your specific State Board that APA approved CE's are accepted towards your licensure requirements. The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) has a process for approving individual programs or providers for continuing education through their Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. 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. The West Virginia board requires board approval for live courses, but accepts ASWB ACE approval for other courses for social workers. For more information, please see https://www.aswb.org/ace/ace-jurisdiction-map/. Whether or not boards accept ASWB ACE approved continuing education for other professionals such as licensed professional counselors or licensed marriage and family therapists varies by jurisdiction. To determine if a course can be accepted by your licensing board, please review your board’s regulations or contact them. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit.
