ECPs Gather at Oven in Lincoln
 Great time at last night’s ECP gathering at the Oven in Lincoln! Several ECP’s met to socialize, and discussed issues relevant to psychologists including NPA’s advocacy with Heritage Health and recently passed PSYPACT, reimbursement concerns, and healthcare and benefits for psychologists. The conversation also included the new two-part EPPP exam and how it will impact new psychologists seeking licensure in Nebraska.

NPA Spring Conference – “Not All that Blows Up is Bipolar (But some of it is…): Evidenced-Based Assessment and Treatment for Bipolar Disorders in Youth and Young Adults” with Eric Youngstrom, Ph.D.
June 8, 2018 –
Scott Conference Center, Omaha
With remote internet streaming in Scottsbluff
Bipolar
disorder is a chronic, recurring, serious, and potentially
life-threatening disease. If left untreated, episodes are likely to grow
more severe and resistant to treatment. It also is one of the leading
causes of disability and early death in the U.S.A., and not just because
of its strong connection with suicide. It is also one of the most
commonly undetected or misdiagnosed conditions in mental health, with
years passing between when the illness causes problems versus getting
appropriate treatment.
This
workshop summarizes the literature, using expert review and
meta-analyses, focusing on clinical implications about the presentation
in youths, practical evidence-based assessment tools, differential
diagnosis, and how to select effective treatment options. The workshop
uses a case-centered approach to illustrate how the information changes
clinical practice.
