Abstract:

This presentation highlights the clinical components of the child and adolescent integrated mood program (CAIMP). The overall program structure related to development and implementation along with engaging families in treatment will be presented. Pediatric mood disorders have a myriad of biopsychosocial contributions and resulting impairment. These impairments can include cognitive distortions, and interpersonal, behavioral, and communication difficulties, and impact social and academic functioning, and physical health. These disorders confer an increased risk for suicide, comorbidity, and chronicity. This often necessitates a higher level of treatment interventions such as inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, residential care, or intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization program (PHP) services. Given the complexity of mood disorders and resulting functional impairment a variety of therapeutic strategies may be warranted to ameliorate distress and improve functioning. In addition family systems can be grossly impacted by these symptoms and the resulting impairment of their family member. As a result research and clinicians are beginning to integrate caregivers into treatment for youth with mood disorders. CAIMP is a multidisciplinary group-based psychotherapy program for youth with a primary diagnosis of a mood disorder. The 10-day, seven hours a day intervention is structured around the scientific understanding of factors that promote and foster mood disturbance and the evidence-based treatments that are most effective at addressing impairment related to affective disorders in youth. There is also a focus on health and wellness strategies to address mood symptoms and family functioning. The innovative aspects of CAIMP include a comprehensive intervention provided to families within the context of a two-week PHP that integrates most of the treatment elements for evidence based treatments of mood disorders.
