Waterford Healthy Ireland and Library initiative are hosting a Free zoom webinar: Anxious Children in an Anxious World with Dr. Mary O’Kane. Online on Thursday 23rd January at 7pm.

All children worry at times, but for some children it can be a real challenge to manage their anxieties. As parents, when your child is anxious it can be difficult to know how best to support them. In this talk Mary explains how anxiety impacts children’s brains and bodies and offers parents practical advice on how to support their children during difficult times, helping them to manage their fears and find the bravery we know they have within them.

Places are free but limited. To reserve a space please click here.
