LIVE VIRTUAL TRAINING
A Two Part Webinar:
The DO’s and DON’Ts of Parenting Your Anxious Child
April 1-8, 2025
In this two part webinar, Lynn Lyons teaches the concrete approach that she uses with families in her private practice. Anxiety often runs in families, so parents need support and direction to break the patterns that feed worry, avoidance, and accommodation. Anxiety is loud and messy, but it’s not complicated once parents understand HOW it works and what to do (and NOT do) when it shows up. This webinar is geared toward parents/caregivers of younger children (approx age 4-12.) Another webinar in May will focus on helping with anxious tweens/teens.
All registrants will receive recordings of both sessions to view until May 1, 2025. (Recordings will be uploaded to your attendee dashboard immediately after the live event.)
After our first two hour session, I’ll give you assignments to work on, concrete changes to make! In our second meeting, I’ll answer questions and help you solidify your approach. Knowing WHAT to do and HOW to respond is the key to interrupting anxiety’s patterns. More details and registration information (new link here)
Anxiety, Depression and School Avoidance:
CREATING PLANS FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
January 31, 2025
10:30 am – 5:30 pm EST
Please note that program times are EST, but are WEST COAST FRIENDLY!
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.
