The US Preventative Service Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that primary care providers (PCPs) screen all children aged 8 to 18 for anxiety disorders. In response to this recommendation, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America and the REACH Institute partnered to create a FREE brochure for PCPs to share with caregivers of anxious children and teens.
The brochure provides helpful information about:
- Key signs of possible anxiety disorders
- How to determine if a child’s anxiety is typical or not
- How caregivers can help anxious children
- Treatment options for anxious youth
