Understanding and supporting children with anxiety

You are invited to participate in an informative workshop on understanding and supporting children with anxiety.

Recent events have been a source of worry and uncertainty for us all. When we understand anxiety and ways to manage it, we are in the position to connect and support a child feeling overwhelmed by anxiety. This workshop will explore:

• ·The child in context

• ·Physiology of anxiety

• ·Definitions of anxiety

• ·Anxiety diagnosis

• ·Anxiety at school

• ·Skills, tools, and strategies to manage anxiety.
