This workshop is for parents who are supporting a child who is struggling with anxiety.  Estimates are that over 42,000 children in BC are experiencing some form of anxiety “disorder.” Anxiety comes in many shapes and sizes, and appears different in younger children than it does in older children and adults.

Parents will learn about the common forms of anxiety in children (ex: Separation Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Phobias, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). What unites these different expressions of worry?  How best support a child feeling overwhelmed by such worry?  Participants leave with a better sense of how to help put a child’s worry monster to rest.
