Parenting when our kid’s anxiety leads to social isolation is hard for everyone. A parent and counsellor talk about what anxiety and social isolation are, what it can look like and feel like for our kids and at home, strategies families can try and how important it is to connect with our children before doing the hard work of trying new things.

'If you have a child or youth with mental health challenges, you may already adapt things around the holiday season. Many of us do. As the 2020 Holiday Season may be one for the record books, let’s talk about what that might look like for families like ours. We’ve also gathered ideas from our team of PiRs, and can share great tips for how we can increase connections, reduce holiday stress and find a little more breathing space during this important time. Join us in December and connect with other families for a facilitated discussion - because we do holidays differently, too. Let us know you are coming! and register at: www.familysmart.ca/itk'

Your life is important to this world.
