 Anxiety in Children - Free Parent Webinar

 

Hello!

 

This past week the Centre for Emotional Health has been overwhelmed with requests to learn more about anxiety in children.  As part of our community outreach, we have decided to host a free webinar for parents, carers and professionals to learn more about how to manage anxiety in primary school aged children. 

 

Our Director of Online Programs at the CEH, Dr Lauren McLellan, will lead a one-hour webinar titled "What is anxiety and how can you help primary school age children manage it?" on Thursday 7th April at 6pm (AEST, Sydney, Australia). 

 

We invite you to join us!

 

Dr McLellan is a practicing clinical psychologist as well as a senior lecturer and researcher within the Faculty of Medicine, Health & Human Sciences at Macquarie University.  Her research aims to use technology as a way to increase access to effective treatments for anxious youth, especially for those in rural and remote communities.  Her passion to research in this particular area is so that more young people can live emotionally healthy lives.

 

You can register for the free webinar here.

These issues affect not only adults, but are sadly experienced by more and more children and adolescents each year.  Join our webinar on the 7th April to learn more about the ways to help recognise and manage your child's anxiety as Dr McLellan shares her research findings with you.
