Divorce, family breakdown, and violence in society and the media, has produced a “shell-shocked” generation of kids suffering from anxiety! Join anxiety expert, Dr. Christine Dargon, who will demonstrate how you can “connect” with anxious children and inspire them to practice new self-regulation skills. You will learn how to help parents (“bulldozers,” “helicopters” and “snowplows”) and schools gain confidence, gratification and success in helping their most anxious kids. To increase your effectiveness with the various manifestations of child anxiety, Dr. Dargon will address each of the following disorders with case examples and clinical vignettes:
Emphasis will be on creative psychotherapy involving insight-oriented, cognitive-behavioral, biological, mindfulness, and family systems interventions.
