Supporting anxious children

Next date: Wednesday, 11 February 2026 | 07:30 PM to 08:30 PM

three kids in field

Does your child worry, feel anxious and seem stressed at times? Would you like to gain a greater understanding of anxiety and learn some helpful strategies to support your child?

Learning to cope with anxiety, stress and fear, whilst a normal part of your child’s development, can be deeply challenging not only for children but also for parents and the family unit as a whole.

Participants will:

  • Develop strategies to support children through understanding the role of anxiety and normal childhood development.
  • Identify the signs and symptoms in your child.
  • Relaxation and mindfulness techniques.
  • Where to go for more help and support.

Please note these sessions will not be recorded.
