Webinar, June 12th, 2020, with the North River Collaborative of Rockland, MA.

For General education teachers, special ed teachers, counselors, school psychologists, administrators, OTs, SLPs, paraprofessionals and school nurses.
* In the time of COVID19, and the subsequent societal changes, anxiety has become ever-present in students of all
ages. It is probable that during a pandemic that heavily impacts everyday life, levels of anxiety in children
and teens are even higher, and the possibility of subsequent trauma greater.
* Through the use of case studies, humorous stories, and examples of everyday challenging situations, participants will learn easy to implement preventive tools, strategies, and interventions for reducing anxiety, increasing self-regulation, accurate thinking, and self-monitoring in students.
* Virtual classroom and traditional classroom examples will be shared.
About the Presenter: Jessica Minahan, MEd, BCBA, is a licensed and board-certified behavior analyst and special educator, who has experience supporting students who exhibit challenging behavior in urban public school systems.
