Anxiety is the most common
disorder of children (and adults today). It is estimated that 8% to 10% of
children suffer from anxiety disorder, but these can increase when stressful
events occur. Anxiety can be difficult to assess as it may result in symptoms
that look more like ADHD, oppositional behaviour, or acting out behaviours.
Participants will have a clear understanding of what anxiety is and how it can
appear in different forms for different children at different ages.
Participants will also be presented with treatment approaches for theses
children as well as strategies which can be used to decrease anxiety and/or
develop greater resilience for children and youth in school and at home.
6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. 1900 Borden Ave, Petawawa
