Middle School Matters WOrkshop for families in Massachusetts with author Phyliss FagellWebinar, February 5th, 2025, with McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA. Free. For health care professionals and parents and educators. Learn from McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School faculty about how best to support the young people in your care and in your lives.
* School can be stressful at any age, and it’s perfectly natural for K-12 students to experience some level of anxiety. But for some kids and teens, school-related anxiety can grow so intense that it hinders their learning and mental well-being and might even lead them to avoid school altogether.
* So how can parents, educators, and other adults recognize when anxiety is creating challenges for the students in their care? What is meant by “school refusal” behavior? And when might professional help be warranted?
* In this previously recorded session, R. Meredith Elkins, PhD, breaks down what you should know about both typical and unhealthy school-related anxiety, provides an overview of “school refusal” and its treatment, and offers practical tips for helping kids and teens feel less anxious about school.
