Overview
In times of crisis, children and adolescents often experience heightened levels of anxiety that can impact their emotional well-being, behavior, and development. Unlike adults, young people may not have the coping mechanisms or vocabulary to express and manage these intense feelings, which can lead to confusion, fear, and a sense of insecurity. For caregivers, educators, and mental health professionals, understanding how to support children effectively during such times is essential for fostering resilience, stability, and hope.
This training is designed to equip participants with essential knowledge, practical strategies, and evidence-based approaches to recognize and address anxiety in young people during crisis situations. We will explore how crises uniquely impact children and adolescents, from natural disasters to conflicts and global pandemics, and discuss the psychological and physical symptoms that often manifest.
Through this training, participants will learn effective methods to support young people in navigating their anxiety, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and creating environments that promote safety and trust. By building a shared understanding of trauma-informed practices and family-centered approaches, we aim to empower caregivers and professionals to make a lasting positive impact on the lives of children and adolescents facing crises. Together, we can lay the groundwork for their long-term well-being and resilience.
We believe that everyone has a unique path, and we’re here to support you in becoming the best version of yourself. To provide personalized guidance, we offer a one-on-one session for each participant following every recorded training. This dedicated time allows us to address your specific questions, reinforce key insights, and tailor the learning experience to your goals.
