5a Reminder: Free lecture on Teens with Anxiety, 3/16
Posted by: "Ellen Jennings" ellenjennings

Hi All,

I highly recommend the following talk, to be given by Dr. Jonathan Dalton
(Director of the Center for Anxiety and Behavioral Change in Rockville, MD)
at the Nora School in downtown Silver Spring on March 16th.


For parents of high schoolers with anxiety, the need for practical, yet
sometimes counter-intuitive evidence-based skills and techniques is
essential to help their teens experience less anxiety and develop greater
tolerance for emotional distress. Specific topics include why anxiety and
avoidance are teammates, how to teach specific coping skills to your
children, which types of positive reinforcement should be used to decrease
anxiety, and when active ignoring of anxious behavior is the best method to
decrease the child’s experience of anxiety.

Free and open to the public, these lectures are oriented toward parents of
teens and professionals who work with teens.

Please feel free to forward this information to a friend or colleague.

RSVPs are highly recommended at marcia at nora-school.org.
