How to Help Children Cope With Anxiety and Trauma
To try and help families following recent horrific events in Israel and Gaza, we gathered child psychiatrists, psychologists, and trauma specialists for a free webinar that tries to answer the following questions:
1. How to talk to our children about recent horrific events?
2. Principles of coping with your and your child's trauma
3. Open Q&A with the clinicians with a focus on coping with trauma
