Reminder - Parent Workshop: Understanding & Managing Children's Anxiety, May 30, 6:00-7:30 pm



The Fern Health and Wellness Committee, School Council, and Fern Avenue Public School, together with Roncesvalles Psychology are pleased to present a free Parent Workshop on the topic of Understanding & Managing Children's Anxiety.

Where? Fern Ave. Public School Auditorium
When? Wednesday May 30, 2018, 6-7:30 pm.

In this 90 minute workshop, the Clinical Team from the Roncesvalles Psychology Clinic will provide parents with practical tips to identify and manage anxiety:

-- Learn about different types of anxiety
-- Learn to spot anxiety in children
-- Practice new skills to help children manage anxiety
-- Know when to worry and how to find help

This workshop is an excellent opportunity to learn more about anxiety, how it effects the children in our lives, and how, as parents, we can develop new skills to help our kids.

We will try to provide childcare if there is sufficient interest. We would love to have an idea of how many people to expect, and how many people need childcare, so please RSVP by May 29 to Vera Ciric.
