2062: Practical strategies for providing an evidence-based therapy, COPE (CBT -skills building therapy),to depressed adolescents in primary care, community, and mental health settings

There is a current emphasis on providing evidence-based treatment where adolescents are most comfortable -coordinating primary and mental health specialty care. Practical strategies are described for presenting COPE, a cbt skill-based therapy in primary care, community and mental health settings.
