Good Samaritan will be holding a Small Steps Anxiety Information Seminar for Parents in Term 4 - Tuesday 18 October. The Small Steps is a program  aimed at raising awareness and improving the recognition of anxiety disorders in children.

Topic covered during  a Small Steps session:

• Signs and symptoms of anxiety
• Different types of  anxiety and how they present
• Evidence-based treatments for anxiety disorders
• Referral and treatment options
• Stressors, including COVID-19 and natural disasters

The Small Steps session is run by an independent facilitator. The sessions will be attended by members of the school leadership team and our school counsellor, Kath Walsh. 

The sessions run  for one hour, with time afterwards for discussion  and questions.

If you think your child might have anxiety, you have observed symptoms of anxiety in your child or you are just interested in what to look out for, come along to learn a little more.
