Louise loved her past role as Senior Social Worker at the Prince of Wales Hospital, where she had the privilege of working with adults and their families in crisis and chronic health areas such as the Intensive Care Unit, Emergency Department, Renal Medicine and other surgical wards. Louise has worked overseas and in the community with newly arrived migrants and refugees. She loves coffee, travel, ocean gazing and spending time with her two young children.
Anxiety in Children and Teenagers
Carly attended an informative training session in the holidays on anxiety in children and teenagers with speaker Psychologist Karen Young, who provided strategies on how to converse with young people in a way that both respects their feelings and upholds boundaries as a parent and their biggest supporter.
Check out Hey Sigmund for useful articles and videos for parents of teens on a range of topics including anxiety, depression, toxic relationships and self-harm.
