14-Anxiety in Schools, 6:30pm @ WHS
Wendi Kozlowski, LPC - Anxiety
disorders are the most common diagnosis in childhood and early adolescence, yet
can present very differently across our youth. Often, these struggles are first
identified in the classroom setting and can present unique challenges to
teachers and parents. During this presentation we will discuss Anxiety –
including what is normal and abnormal – and identify tools to help our youth
calm down in the moment and learn to self-regulate in and out of the classroom.
