School is back in session! The new school year is underway and your teen’s course work will be picking up, after school activities will be bustling, and stress levels will be rising. Some stress can be a healthy emotion, signaling us to study for a test or practice for a speech in order to resolve the uncomfortable feeling. However, when stress builds, it can begin to have unhealthy affects on the body and the mind.
This workshop can be preventative - teaching your teen healthy ways to manage the overwhelm BEFORE it takes over. But this workshop can also be an intervention - if your teen is struggling with any of the symptoms listed below, it’s time to get them support.
Our Teen Team here at CFE supports so many teens reporting unmanageable levels of stress and anxiety, especially related to school. So… we’re offering this amazing workshop for the third consecutive year to help your teen learn healthy ways to manage big emotions in order to have an amazing school year.
In our Managing School Stress and Anxiety workshop, we will cover:
Mastering organization to keep track of assignments
Exploring healthy sleep, nutrition, and exercise habits and how they impact mood
Practicing coping skills to assist in managing the inevitable stress that will occur in school
Learning to recognize and change unhealthy thinking patterns
Utilizing creative strategies to decrease anxiety and stress
This workshop will be co-led by Lindsay Butler, licensed therapist and certified school counselor, and Josie McCall, licensed social worker. Lindsay brings her expertise as a high school counselor and Josie brings her creativity to give your teens a fun and informative 3 hours, after which they will walk away feeling more prepared to handle the school year.
