Workshop on childhood anxiety
Does your child or the children you work with struggle with anxiety: panic attacks, separation anxiety, stomach aches, headaches, tantrums, obsessions/compulsions, avoidance of activities, racing thoughts, or troubles with sleep?
Anxiety has many faces, and at this workshop parents, caregivers, and professionals will learn about the psychological and physiological roots of anxiety, why it is on the rise in our children, and what to do to help children better manage it.
This course has a holistic* and strength-based approach that focuses on what we as caretakers, parents, and professionals can do vs. stigmatizing children who are struggling.
Join Tania Johnson, Registered Psychologist, Registered Play Therapist, and Co-Founder of the Institute of Child Psychology, as she explores research and theory in the field of mental health, education, attachment, naturopathic medicine, and interpersonal neurobiology.
Attendees will be given resources and direct tools to help their child, or the children they work with, overcome this emotional obstacle.
This workshop aims to enlighten, empower, and inspire those who take care of our children.

- Identify neurobiological and physiological mechanisms that underlie anxiety
