Stress and Anxiety in School-Aged Children (Parent Session with Dr. Jules Nolan): Even before COVID, anxiety had become the most commonly diagnosed issue in classrooms across this country.

In this session, you will learn concrete strategies to help your children become more resilient to stress and to better endure normal anxious feelings. You will also find tips to differentiate “normal” stress and anxiety responses from more serious symptoms, how to intervene without interfering, and when to seek help.
