COURSE DESCRIPTION
As we learn to live with COVID-19, mental health needs continue to surge. Particularly affected are children, families, schools, and society at large. Social emotional struggles often have an impact on students’ ability to learn and engage with their academic experience. Students with social emotional struggles, such as anxiety, may resort to counterproductive coping strategies such as task avoidance, shut downs, meltdowns, or being the class clown. This 1-hour webinar focuses on some basics regarding the presentation of anxiety and worry, the expectation for worry during pandemic/post-pandemic times, as well as issues that disrupt class performance. As well, this session will include concrete strategies for managing these behaviors in class, since anxiety in the classroom is part of our “new normal.”
