Anxiety is the most common mental health concern among children and teens. Rates of anxiety in young people was a concern even before the COVID-19 pandemic and has understandably accelerated since. Anxiety is not something that young people simply outgrow if left to their own devices, but thankfully it is highly treatable with the right interventions. All adults who help, teach and support children and teens will benefit from learning how best to support this population and effectively assist them in building their capacity to manage and tame their anxiety gremlins.
In this day-long live webinar, dynamic Canadian Psychologist Dr Caroline Buzanko will discuss the causes, implications, recognition and practical management of child and adolescent anxiety.
Some of the key areas Caroline will explore include:
How anxiety shows up (including a discussion of generational pressures and technostress).
What are the factors that help maintain it (including how the well-intentioned efforts of adults can unwittingly make anxiety stronger).
Common anxiety traps to avoid - teaching children and teens about their anxiety the right way.
An introduction to Dr Buzanko’s practical protocol for taming anxiety “The Anxiety Compass”, which includes:
- Strategies for ensuring buy in and the importance of connection.
- How to disentangle from anxiety.
- Promoting a ‘bring it’ anxiety-busting attitude to overcome fear obstacles.
- Building the problem-solving brain (vs. strengthening the anxious one).
- What to do in the height of an anxiety meltdown.
- Environmental considerations and the promotion of healthy habits.
- Ideas for relapse prevention.
Webinar participants will learn effective tools and processes to help children and teens manage their anxiety successfully while promoting overall courage, confidence, resilience, and well-being.
