and Other Anxiety Challenges:
PLANS FOR HELPING YOUNGER STUDENTS (AND THEIR PARENTS)
January 24TH, 2025
10:30 am – 5:30 pm EST
Please note that program times are EST, but are WEST COAST FRIENDLY!
Schools continue to struggle with high rates of anxiety and in particular school avoidance, which has increased since the pandemic. This training will provide concrete strategies to use with elementary age children. (MS/HS program coming soon!) How do we create effective plans that don’t “do the disorder”? Is possible to work better with parents? Can we develop an “umbrella approach” to handling anxiety and worry in classrooms and schools? If you are a clinician, how can you work with schools and parents to foster consistency and skill-building?
This workshop is for school personnel, including educators, counselors, school nurses, administrators, OTs, and mental health professionals in clinical practice, including psychologists, social workers, counselors, and MFT’s.

Anxiety, Depression and School Avoidance:
CREATING PLANS FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
January 31, 2025
10:30 am – 5:30 pm EST

Adolescents continue to struggle with alarming rates of anxiety and depression, and middle and high schools are on the front lines. While educators work to support academics, they are also tasked with building overall skills of connection and emotional management, understanding diagnoses and working with outside providers. At a time when disinformation is rampant and young people report ever-higher rates of loneliness, what do educators, students and their parents need to know? How do we create effective plans that don’t “do the disorder”? Is it possible to work better with parents? Can we develop an “umbrella approach” to handling anxiety and depression that will decrease school avoidance? If you are a clinician, how can you work with schools and parents to foster consistency, teach “umbrella” skills, and help our teens move forward?
Whether you’ve been to trainings with Lynn before or are new to her approach, this program will ADD skills that both address existing anxiety/depression patterns and prevent them from taking hold. Special attention will be paid to the movement of anxiety into depression.
This workshop is for school personnel, including educators, counselors, school nurses, administrators, OTs, and mental health professionals in clinical practice, including psychologists, social workers, counselors, and MFT’s.
