Anxiety in 5-11s - Monday 16th October 2.00-3.30pm
Anxiety in childhood is really common and often transient, self-resolving and nothing to worry about. However on occasion it can persist and can impact on young people’s day to day lives in schools as well as in their homes and communities. This training will explore anxiety issues in primary aged children. We will think together about the times when anxiety can be quite normal and expected and when it might be more of a concern. We will look at the signs and symptoms of anxiety in 5-11 year olds and we will explore some strategies and ideas that are suitable for this age group. We will talk through when it might be appropriate to get some help and how to make and where to direct onward referrals. Training for professionals only and not parents.
