It’s a commonly traded truism among parents today that this generation of children is struggling with significantly higher rates of anxiety, depression and other mental health problems. The research seems to bear this out, especially in the midst of a pandemic that has interrupted normal activities for so many and forced far more time online for learning, socializing and entertainment. But what explains the overall trend towards increased anxiety levels in kids and what can we do about it? This workshop for parents will offer an overview of anxiety and related mental health issues in kids, with a focus on prevention and support.
We will look at:
- What is anxiety?
- How do I know if my kid is dealing with it or if they are just acting like a typical tween/ teenager?
- How does anxiety relate to other mental health issues?
- Is there an “anxiety epidemic” in today’s kids? What do the facts show?
- Dealing with stigma around mental health issues
- Why might this be happening – where does anxiety come from?
- How can we support kids (and everyone else) dealing with anxiety? What NOT to say.
- How to help your anxious teen advocate for themselves at school and beyond
