Back 2 School

Midwest Anxiety is a community based treatment program for anxiety disorders and more generalized problems involving excessive worry, anxiety, and stress reactions. We employ an interactive, action-oriented Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) approach, integrating features of behavioral modification into cognitive restructuring. We believe that people are not defined by their weaknesses, but by their strengths.  Life stressors are managed when these strengths are tapped and skills are developed to improve weaknesses.  We inspire a purpose driven and meaningful life by focusing on what you can become rather than what you can’t become.

Midwest Anxiety

We know transitioning back to school after a 3-month break can be tough for both children and parents.  For some children, anticipating a new grade, a new classroom, a new teacher, making friends, facing bullies, feeling “uncool” or coping with academic pressures can fuel anxiety, even dread. This anxiety may be experienced through such symptoms as headaches, stomachaches, sleep difficulties, and even school refusal. 
Back 2 School will help parents understand how to help their anxious child transition back to school.  We will discuss the "morning routine," what to do if your child refuses school, and many other challenges that your child may have with returning to school.  Parents will also have an opportunity to ask “What do I do when….” questions.
