Parent Event: Empathy, Resilience, and Conflict Resolution—Working With Teens to Build Resilience

Building resilience—the ability to adapt well to adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or even significant sources of stress—can help our children manage stress and feelings of anxiety and uncertainty.

The presentation focuses on helping parents and caregivers understand the important differences between anxiety and stress, and introduces effective tools for managing each. Emphasis will be placed on helping parents identify signs of anxiety in kids and manage expectations at home. Most importantly, the role of empathy and the avoidance of over-accommodating anxiety in kids will be addressed.

Join Kevin Ashworth, from the NW Anxiety Institute, for tips for parents to help their children develop coping skills and methods.

Join us on Tuesday, January 24 at 7 pm in the Tower Commons.

Please RSVP to this event by Friday, January 20.
