About this Event
Kevin Ashworth, Clinical Director of NW Anxiety Institute, discusses the role of empathy when communicating with children of all ages, and its importance in helping to build tolerance to uncertainty and experiences of feeling capable. This presentation will provide practical strategies for talking with our families about uncontrollable situations and offer ways parents can model calmness, even when being overwhelmed. Lastly, time will be given for an interactive Q&A so please come prepared with questions!
