High school can be a time of excitement, fun and new experiences. It can also be challenging and worrying. Excessive worry and unhelpful thinking patterns can prevent your adolescent from being the best they can be in their adult years.

Among the many mental health problems experienced by young people, anxiety is one of the most commonly diagnosed conditions. If ignored or left untreated, anxiety in childhood and adolescence increases the risk of further negative outcomes in the short and long term.

Resilience Kit returns to present "Kids and Anxiety", an information session to help parents and caregivers to understand anxiety, behaviours and protective factors for their teenagers.

The information session will cover:

• How common is anxiety?
• Some of the risk and protective factors for healthy emotional development
• Strategies to help your teen develop their self-worth and resilience which can help to prevent emotional distress such as anxiety
• Mental health support services available for teens and parents
