Workshops for Professionals

Playful, practical and purposeful approaches to childhood anxiety

This interactive workshop provides a comprehensive overview of childhood anxiety and practical ideas for working with preschool and primary school aged children. A range of therapeutic activities are presented that can be used with children and their families. We suggest that you consider attending our Creative Ways to Help Children Manage Emotions workshop prior to attending this one (that workshop also has lots of playful and practical ideas for helping anxious children!).
