Exploring and Tackling Childhood Anxiety
Physical, mental, and emotional health is important across the lifespan, and we know that our kids may require tools to maintain health in these areas just as we do. Focusing on skills to manage anxiety and worry, this program will provide our kiddos, aged 8-12, with coping strategies that they can use in a variety of life situations. We will define anxiety, explore its related emotions, and build effective and fun coping skills to help manage our big worries!
**The registration fee covers both a virtual information session for parents or guardians and a 4-hour weekend workshop for the kids.**
Ground Control to Major Mom
Managing Disconnect as a Parent in a Time of "Social" Connection
Have we lost contact with our base? Being a mom has always been hard, and in today’s society of social media and supermom, parenting can seem even more daunting, leaving us feeling like we are floating in space. While we strive to juggle all the demands of life, we may feel isolated and ashamed that we aren’t 100% there in every activity, in every moment, and in every aspect of our families’ lives.
In this program, we discuss the pressures faced by moms, strategies for maintaining mental health, setting boundaries, and taking time to breathe.
