This is what we have coming up in March.

 

ANXIETY IN SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN

Does your child have fears that prevent him/her from enjoying activities
or even getting to school?  Does he/she seem to worry a great deal about
everyday life occurrences?   Anxiety in children is being identified as
a major concern for parents and educators.    Janice Goldstein and Kate
Goldfield will address this timely topic and outline for parents how to
identify an anxiety disorder and how to respond.
