Workshop for Parents: Adolescents & Anxiety

We have developed a 2 hour interactive workshop for parents centered around anxiety in adolescents and how to support their young people through connection and specific strategies.

This workshop is designed to provide parents with information on:

  • The more common types of anxiety experienced by adolescents,
  • What these types of anxiety may look like,
  • Context around why adolescents may be experiencing anxiety

Additionally, the workshop aims to support parents with strategies to:

  • Increase the space for connection with their young people,
  • Aid their adolescents in developing coping strategies that are evidence based in reducing anxiety and increasing emotional balance

This workshop provides foundational knowledge and strategies and may aid parents in deciding whether further supports or services would be helpful to their young people.

What Can You Expect?

Given this topic is broad and peoples experiences are so unique, we’ve tried to give as much information across all areas and deliver it in a way that is still engaging. There is time for questions throughout the workshop and discussion amongst the group is encouraged.

This workshop does not replace individual support, which may be a useful next step depending on your circumstances and needs. Information booklets are available following the workshop which contain all information discussed and further supports and services available to young people and their families.
