Resilience Kit - Kids & Anxiety Information Session at OLA
Date: 30 October 2018
Time: 7:30pm
Location: OLA Library
As families, we can increase emotional resilience to help our children develop positive coping skills before more serious difficulties occur. You are invited to a FREE EVENT at Our Lady’s Assumption School to help us understand anxiety, behaviours and protective factors for our children.
Gemma Lee Taylor from Resilience Kit will discuss:
• How common is anxiety and how we can all feel anxious from time to time
• Some of the risk and protective factors for healthy emotional development
• How developing social and emotional skills can help to prevent anxiety • Why building resilience in the family is important
Gemma and her team specialise in the delivery of evidence-based mental health programs for people of all ages, using the internationally acclaimed FRIENDS Resilience programs. To date, Resilience Kit have helped hundreds of Perth children, adolescents and adults build resilience, prevent and reduce anxiety.
