Anxiety can present itself in a variety of ways. Is your child sleeping at odd hours? Is she having unexplained stomach pain? Is he avoiding his friends? Have his grades taken a nose dive? Does she seem restless or is she clearly having panic attacks? The first step is recognizing anxiety. The next step is getting your child the support and tools they might need to cope in a healthy way. Join us for an honest and practical panel discussion about children and anxiety, featuring experts who will answer your questions, offer suggestions, and share tools and helpful resources. This program is for parents, teachers and other caregivers that work with children who may be struggling with anxiety.
