Join us for an informative community webinar on effective strategies for managing anxiety in children and adolescents.

This is a 45-min webinar, followed by 15-mins for Q&A and discussion.

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:

Anxiety is one of the most commonly reported mental health problems. While worrying is a normal part of life, excessive worrying and continuous negative thoughts can lead a person to feel overwhelmed, stressed, stuck, and anxious. Anxious children and young people report not feeling like they are in control of their negative thoughts, resulting in them feeling excessive nervousness, indecisiveness, and an inability to relax.

ATTENDEES OF THIS WEBINAR WILL:

  • Learn the difference between normal worries and clinical anxiety, as well as gain a better understanding of how anxiety presents itself in children.
  • Learn about the causes of anxiety, as well as gain practical tools to assist them in supporting their children in dealing with life’s stressors.

Date: Wednesday, 11th September, 2024

Time: 11am - 12pm (GST)
