  • Children's Worries- Virtual Information Session

    Thu 06 May 2021

    Information session for Parents/Carers about Children’s worries - Tuesday 18th May, 10.00 - 11.00 a.m. (online)

            Worries and anxieties are a normal part of life.  However, they can become a problem if they prevent us from leading a full and active life. 

    In the session we will explain some key points that can help you as parents, how school interventions can support your child and also how our Educational Mental Health Practitioner from the Mental Health Support Team can deliver evidence-based therapies within school also. Let’s work together to help reduce our children’s worries.

    • Colour Monster
    • Zones of Regulation
    • Emotional check-ins

    • ‘No Worries’ – 8 week programme using CBT principles and strategies which children can apply throughout their life.  The programme aims to reduce anxiety, raise confidence and self-esteem thus reducing the need for referral to Mental Health services.

    • Importance of parents’ involvement and engagement in managing worries
    • What helps and doesn’t help
    • Introducing Worry time – how this works
    • Problem solving
    • Role modelling within the home.

     

    If the worries/anxiety are still ongoing, how a referral for further support from our Educational Mental Health Practitioner, Ms Sue Davies, can help.
