Workshop offered on helping teens with anxiety

A workshop titled “Addressing Anxiety in Your Child or Teen,” will be offered at the Bloomfield Township Public Library on Tuesday, April 9, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

It is part of the Caregiver Workshop Series, and is free and open to the public. However, registration is required for this program.

The workshop is designed to introduce parents and caregivers to the signs and symptoms of anxiety in their children, as well as to offer real life strategies for anxious behaviors. Local therapist Jessica Cortez, LMSW, will provide evidence-based tools to try at home to support children and teens working through high emotions and behaviors.

Families will receive handouts, worksheets and a resource list that can assist in improving emotion regulation with their child.
