Dear Parents and Guardians,

Some of the topics covered in the talk will be:

 

1)    understanding the difference between normal developmental fears and clinical anxiety (including early identification of anxiety)

2)    evidence-based treatment strategies parents can use at home for children with mild anxiety

3)    resources in the community that parents can utilize if they are looking for further help or questions regarding anxiety
