Free Parent Workshop: Managing Stress & Anxiety

On Wednesday, March 1 from 7-8pm, Xavier High School, along with Catapult Learning, will be hosting an in-person workshop at Xavier High School in the Regis-LaSalle Theatre on Managing Stress & Anxiety. 

The last few years have been stressful for everyone, especially children. Fear and anxiety are more prevalent than ever. This is overwhelming for the entire family and results in strong emotions in adults and children. However, how you cope with stress and anxiety can make you, your child, your family, and your community stronger. This workshop offers tips for recognizing anxiety across age groups and strategies for coping.
