Current news about young people and mental health has created warranted concern, but the information can be overwhelming and hard to sort through. Parents need dependable strategies to help their children manage their anxiety, moods, and social pressures, including social media and screens. The ability to help guide our children requires, more than ever, an ability to recognize and address one’s own emotional management as we practice and model better skills to meet life’s challenges. Based on current research and 35 years of clinical experience, Lynn Lyons will talk about the common traps adults fall into, the role of smart phones and social media, and the key adjustments needed to manage the current surge of anxiety and depression in our kids and ourselves. Includes preventative measures!
