What’s covered

The social, academic, and extracurricular pressure on so many of our kids today seems like it’s at an all-time high. Some children internalize their stress in ways that can lead to anxiety and depression while others tend to lash out in inappropriate ways. A smaller percentage of our children, because of both known and unknown factors, develop mental health issues that need professional support.
Attend this seminar to learn about:

Behavior challenges based on your child’s age—what’s typical and what’s not—and what you can do about them
Signs, symptoms, and treatment for “acting in,” such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders
Sign, symptoms and treatment for “acting out,” like oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder, Psychotic Disorder, and Bipolar Disorder
The right professionals who can help your child in and out of school.
