Anxiety and stress are the primary mental health concerns affecting children and adolescents today. Given the wide range of stressors associated with growing up, this is no surprise. We want our children to learn to have appropriate skills for coping with anxiety and other difficult emotions.

 

One resource that is very helpful for learning to cope with anxiety was developed by Dr. Donna Pincus. The Child Anxiety Network is designed to provide thorough, user-friendly information about child anxiety. It is also designed to provide direction for those not sure where to turn when they think their child or a child they know may need help to cope with anxiety.

 

This wonderful resource includes information about the various types of anxiety, frequently asked questions, resources, etc. Please visit The Child Anxiety Network at www.childanxiety.net for more information.
