Being Your Best Self in Anxious Times
The primary focus is to provide parents and/or legal guardians with additional understanding and resources to help support their school aged (elementary, middle school, and high school) children in managing anxious feelings. We will provide a general description of anxiety and discuss the ways anxiety presents itself, to provide options to support open communication with your child, to recognize emotions that your child may experience, provide resources to parents to support their children experiencing feelings of anxiousness and practice activities that may be implemented. This training will be virtual.
