Responding to Students with Anxiety (Including School Anxiety and Avoidance)

This event is free thanks to an SEL Grant.

No, it isn’t in your imagination that students seem more anxious today than in the past.  Indeed, they are more anxious and worried, and less independent and capable of taking in stride small setbacks.  How do we respond to this fretful generation?  This presentation, facilitated by Amy Maus, MSW, LCSW from West County Psychological Associates, will provide an understanding of what anxiety actually is, red flags in anxious students, why it’s exploding today among our youth, and how teachers and other school professionals can respond in ways that actually help.  The second half of the morning will be spent discussing school anxiety and avoidance/refusal in particular. Registration closes 4-5 days prior to the event date. CEU’s will be provided.
