NIMH Instagram Event: Anxiety and Stress in Children and Adolescents
Date and Time
Location
Occasional stress and anxiety are expected parts of everyday life, but for those who suffer from an anxiety disorder, the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time if not treated. Going back to school can be stressful, especially with the added uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Learning what causes or triggers your stress and what coping techniques work for you can help reduce your anxiety and improve your transition back to school.
With a new school year approaching, NIMH is hosting a live question and answer session on its Instagram story. During this event, you will be able to ask Krystal Lewis, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist at NIMH, questions you may have about stress or anxiety in children and adolescents.
Participating is easy.
- To participate and/or follow the chat, you must have an Instagram account.
