Making Sense of Anxiety in Children
Online workshop via Zoom
Date: Thursday, December 2, 2021, Time: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Cost: FREE
Facilitator: Colleen Drobot
There is currently an epidemic of anxiety affecting children which can take many forms including obsessions, compulsions, phobias, panic, physical illnesses, as well as a host of perplexing behaviours. Today’s world can create many challenges for children with all they face, such as separation anxiety, peer interactions, family dynamics, negative self-image, perfectionism, and many other stressors that can impede a child’s ability to learn and mature. Children with sensitivity, specific learning differences, or cognitive, emotional or physical challenges can be especially at risk for anxiety. Counsellor and educator Colleen Drobot will help make sense of the roots of anxiety using psychologist Dr. Gordon Neufeld’s approach and will suggest ways in which educators can help support children to find rest and flourish.
