    About this event

    A workshop that looks at anxiety and what parents can do to support their SEN children when they become anxious.

    Evidence Base: Typically, children with SEND experience high levels of anxiety. This can result, amongst other things, in school refusal, isolation, difficult and dangerous behaviour and emotional dysregulation. This can have a detrimental impact on mental and physical wellbeing.

    Objective: Parents and carers are more confident in recognising and managing their child’s anxiety.

    Workshop Content:

    • What is anxiety?
    • Anxiety and SEND
    • Recognising signs of anxiety
    • Fight, Flight, Freeze
    • Meltdowns
    • Demand Avoidance
    • Emotional Literacy
    • Resources and Strategies for managing anxiety

    Learning Outcomes:

    • Understand what anxiety is, the signs of anxiety and how it can present
    • Recognise the impact that anxiety can have
    • Understand fight-flight-freeze responses and how to support them
    • Understand and explore approaches to help support meltdowns
    • Explore strategies and approaches to help build resilience for both parents and carers and their children and young people

    This workshop is commissioned by Hertfordshire County Council.
