Aimed at parents/carers of children and young people aged 12-18, this workshop describes what anxiety is, why we experience anxiety, how it effects the brain and the body, how it affects what we do and don’t do. It then explains how to support your child/adolescent if anxiety is becoming a problem.
This workshop will provide an introduction to the topic. We understand that some participants may already have prior knowledge in this area, which may overlap with the content covered. We appreciate your patience as we aim to make our workshops accessible to parents and carers with a range of experience and understanding.
