Helping Children & Teenagers Cope with Anxiety

Anxiety is a normal and important part of our lives. We need to be able to get anxious to keep safe, but sometimes teenagers and children can get so anxious that it prevents them from doing regular things in their everyday lives.

In this presentation, clinical psychologist, UCD professor, RTÉ broadcaster (21st Century Child) and author of Parenting is Child’s Play, Dr David Coleman will focus on understanding how anxiety affects children, teenagers and families and will give concrete and practical tips for how to help children deal with the stresses and pressures in their lives.

The presentation will be followed by Q&A session with the audience.
