Pushing Back Against Anxiety

Foothills Academy Parent & Community Webinar.

Presented by Dr. Karen MacMillan, Executive Co-Director of Foothills Academy.
Worries can seep into every aspect of daily life. For individuals and families dealing with LD &/or ADHD, these worries can be particularly prevalent. When worries lead to persistent anxiety, it can prevent us from having a happy, stable, active, connected, and well-rounded existence. How can we tell when unhealthy anxiety is impeding our lives? How do we begin to take charge when we realize that anxiety is impeding our happiness, or that of the individuals we care for, or work with? By increasing our understanding of how anxiety can be addressed, we will be able to identify ways in which we can push back against anxiety in the home, the classroom, and the community. Build up your knowledge about the underlying principles of anxiety, and compile strategies that will work best for yourself and/or those individuals you support.
