Title: Raising Resilience: Parenting Anxious Kids to Bravery Workshop with Young Families
Program description: Parenting is hard enough, but navigating the push-pull of supporting anxious kids makes it that much more challenging. Knowing when to encourage your child to face their fears and when to help them rest and recuperate often leaves parents
feeling completely stuck. Join us as Marti Munford, clinical mental health therapist, sheds light on the formation of anxiety in kids and the powerful ways to bust it. With humor (because how can you parent without it?) and compassion, we'll discuss parental
patterns that enable anxiety and engage tools that help break the cycle.
Programming for Parents (recommended for parents of children through 5th grade)
