Agudath Israel’s Social Action Committee, The TOV Team, Presents

a Sunday Brunch & Learn Series on Mental Health and Mental Illness

Anxiety Disorders: A Worried Mind

Sunday, February 21, 2010 - 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

“Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note: Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy”...... Bobby McFerrin

So are we worrying too much? What makes us worried? What keeps us worried?  What can we do to worry less and “be happy”.

 Our speakers, Dr. Jaklov Shlik, Dr. Amy Moustgaard and Sara McConnell will be talking about:  (a) recognizing when worry becomes a  problem; (b) the strategies we use that keep us worried; (c) the importance of treatment; and (d) a CBT perspective on Generalized  Anxiety Disorder and more effective coping strategies.   

Dr. Jakov Shlik, MD, PhD is Clinical Director of the Anxiety Disorders Program, and the Operational Stress Injury Clinic.  He is Associate Professor of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Ottawa and clinician/researcher with the Stress and Anxiety Research Unit of the University of Ottawa Institute for Mental health Research.  His current research interests focuses  on psychobiology and treatment of complex anxiety disorders.

Dr. Amy Moustgaard is a registered psychologist whose practice with adults includes clinical work, rehabilitation, and neuropsychology. In addition to managing her private practice, she is affiliated with the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre’s Anxiety Disorders Program where she provides specialized assessments and treatments for individuals and groups. As a Clinical Professor at the University of Ottawa, Dr. Moustgaard supervises doctoral students in psychology.    

 
      Sara McConnell is a Canadian Certified Counsellor who has been with the Anxiety Disorders 
Association of Ontario (ADAO) for 3 years.  She                   received an Honours BA Degree in Psychology and a  Masters Degree in Educational Counselling from the  University of Ottawa and has
