Everyone worries: Kids, teens, and adults. When worries and fears interfere with your child/teen's life in a significant way, it can impact their ability to fully participate in school, make friends and generally enjoy life. Caregivers often want to help their child face fears but are not sure how to do that in a way that is both supportive and also encourages them to step outside of their comfort zone. Drs. Rachel Busman and Lynne Siqueland offer practical tips and strategies in this webinar.
