ABC of mental health



The Hincks Dellcrest Institute is
pleased to welcome: 
Dr. Alex Russell PhD, C.Psych & Ian Robertson MSW, RSW

Dr. Alex Russell
russell 
Dr. Alex Russell is a clinical psychologist who provides assessments and psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults, and consultation and supervision to schools, teachers and psychologists. He is a popular public speaker and is the author, with Tim Falconer, of Drop the Worry Ball: How to Parent in the Age of Entitlement.

Dr. Russell is intimately familiar with the culture of the school system and the relationship that parents, teachers and counsellors share with regards to the children in our care.

Workshop Schedule:
Promoting Adaptive Anxiety in Children:
Gaining a Healthy Perspective on Anxiety
May 15th,  2017 | 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

This training is suitable for educators, early childhood educators, school counsellors, parents, school staff, direct service workers, and mental health professionals.

Children play and learn in adult-controlled contexts. Anxiety disorders are on the rise as children fall behind in developing their own relationships with school, achievement and the broader world around them.

In this workshop, you will examine the ways counsellors, educators and mental health professionals can help parents stay emotionally present in their children’s lives while respectfully giving them space to develop their own agendas and sense of responsibility. You will gain a healthy perspective on anxiety, in which childhood anxiety is understood as a necessary building block of adaptation and an essential gateway to a child’s creative engagement with the world.

Learning Objectives:
* Recognize the conceptual framework for understanding the emotional challenges children face within the current child-rearing climate.
* Work with parents caught between the pressure to protect and guide their children, on the one hand and to support their independence and emotional maturity on the other.
* Work with children and youth who have developed maladaptive forms of anxiety.

For more information, or to register click Anxiety, or contact Mary Anne at 416-924-1164 x 3233 or via email atmvanrooyen@hincksdellcrest.org
