Speakers: Vanessa Neufeld + Daniel Cloake

This workshop will review theories of anxiety, the prevalence of anxiety among school-age  children and evidence-based approaches to managing anxiety. Preventative strategies will be  discussed to promote mental well being. Presenters will share several case studies of students  with anxiety-related problem behaviors that led to school refusal. The importance of a  collaborative approach with the family, a systematic plan and support from professionals outside of the school will be discussed. 

This episode is from their session at the 2021 InspirED Convention.
