Course Overview
This course catches you up to date on how to help children ages 1 to 18 years old. It begins with a clear discussion of the prevalence, differential diagnosis for anxiety and comorbidities and how to best assess whether a child has chronic or situational anxiety. It then presents a clear framework for treatment including grounding and self-regulation techniques. The interventions span ten emotional/cognitive types and ten body/somatic interventions. Each approach is evidence-based and has a clear and fast ability for implementation.
As we go through trying times, the lessons of self-regulation that we teach children will greatly calm them and allow them to function as best as possible. Additionally, these lessons will serve as a foundation for their future distress management and will positively enhance their lives. Participants will enjoy this concise but jam-packed training that empowers you to begin making a difference immediately.
- Define how to diagnose childhood anxiety and its symptoms.
- Recall an effective diagnostic tool for childhood anxiety and its multiple types.
- Recognize 20 evidence-based interventions, spanning the mind and body, to help calm children suffering from clinical anxiety or anxious feelings.
