Supporting Children's Emotional Wellbeing in Times of Uncertainty

This is a series of four recorded webinars delivered by two experts in the field of wellbeing and anxiety. The aims of the webinars are to provide both parents and their children with guidance and support on how they can improve their self-esteem, confidence and reduce anxiety. There is also a specific webinar that focuses on how to support children with autism around their possible increased levels of anxiety.

Parents and carers will receive practical strategies and solutions to the issues that they may currently be experiencing. The content and strategies included are suitable for parents and carers with children of all ages, but as with all things, you may find some are more appropriate to your child than others.

All four recorded webinars in the toolkit are available for the total price of £20 +VAT, and can be watched when it is convenient for you.
