Supporting your Anxious Child: Why Anxiety Exists, Why It's Normal, And What You Can Do 
Since 2007, anxiety in children and teens has been steadily rising, and the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased anxiety in many youth. In this 6-week online therapeutic course, you will learn: 

​

• how to recognize childhood anxiety and its different forms 

• anxiety and its correlation to attachment

• how to talk to your children about their anxiety 

• emotion coaching and why it helps

• supporting friendships in a child with anxiety 

• how social media and technology-use affect anxiety 

• parental anxiety and how it can impact your children

• at-home strategies, resources and tools to lessen anxiety in your household 

​

Each session will be highly interactive with many opportunities to ask questions, practice new skills and complete exercises. Groups are kept small in order to provide a safe space to share your personal experiences and hear how other parents and caregivers navigate anxiety in their homes. This course will be facilitated by registered clinical counsellor Rebecca Olds.
