Managing anxiety in your family: skill-building webinars

Anxiety is more than just being worried – it’s a mental health issue that can affect your wellbeing and quality of life. Both adults and children can suffer from anxiety, and other people’s anxiety can also affect us.

You’re invited to join two free, live webinars on managing anxiety in your family.

In the first webinar, child and family psychologist Dr Meredith Rayner will take you through skills for managing anxiety. These skills can improve your child’s wellbeing – and yours too! After that, you’ll have time to practise what you’ve learned before joining the second webinar for a Q&A session with more tips and advice.

These webinars are suitable for parents and carers of children 0-16 years.
