This presentation will provide an overview of key principles and strategies that parents, school staff, and other caring adults can use to support anxious youth during the school day as well as in other situations that are novel, uncertain, or otherwise stressful. Topics covered will include the difference between anxiety and stress, ways that anxiety can be adaptive in youth, why providing reassurance may make things worse rather than better.
