Families for Depression Awareness (FFDA) is hosting a free webinar for those interested in learning more about teen anxiety on September 25, 2019 at 7:00 pm ET (4:00 pm PT).
Nearly one in three adolescents meet the criteria for an anxiety disorder by the age of 18. Sadly, 80% of youth diagnosed with anxiety are not getting the treatment they need. Caring adults can make a difference by learning to recognize the signs and intervening before anxiety takes over a teen’s life or leads to depression.
In this webinar, Lisa M. Schab, LCSW, a practicing psychotherapist and international best-selling author, will discuss the symptoms of an anxiety disorder, anxiety management skills adults can practice with youth, and ways adults can encourage teens to be a part of choosing treatment options.
We built in extra time for questions and answers! Join our 75-minute webinar live or watch on demand after it airs. Register today to submit your questions for our featured presenter, Lisa M. Schab, LCSW.
