Helping Your Children and Teens:
The Emotional Skills Your Family Needs
March 3, 2022 at 7pm

Children and teens were struggling with increasing rates of anxiety and depression prior to 2020, and this past year didn’t help! Parents and caregivers need strategies to help children (and themselves!) manage the uncertainty of our current environment as we recover and move forward. This presentation describes the skills needed for emotional management including how to increase flexibility, tolerate uncertainty, communicate effectively and replace catastrophic thinking with problem-solving. I will refer to situations particular to the ongoing pandemic and its aftermath, but recommended measures will be relevant far beyond this timeframe and singular content.
