Raising Resilient Teens: Supporting Adolescents With Anxiety

Raising Resilient Teens: Supporting Adolescents With Anxiety Parenting a teen with signs of anxiety can be both rewarding and challenging. It can be difficult to know when to step in, when to encourage independence, and how to support your teen without unintentionally reinforcing their anxiety. Join Katie King, licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed school counselor, for a supportive and engaging three-hour experiential workshop designed to support those parenting adolescent children (ages 12 to 18) to better understand anxiety. We'll look at anxiety symptoms through a developmental lens and gain practical, evidence-based strategies to confidently support teens through life's challenges. Throughout the workshop, Katie will explore the reasoning behind anxious symptoms and the developing adolescent brain, provide practical, straightforward parenting tools, and create space for reflection, discussion, and connection with other parents navigating similar experiences. Participants will learn how to respond in ways that build resilience, foster emotional regulation, and help develop the confidence to face challenges rather than avoid them--for both teens AND themselves! Parents will leave feeling inspired, empowered, and equipped with actionable tools to strengthen their relationship with their teen while promoting greater confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being.
