Parent Support Services
Everyone has worries.
Some people worry more than others, but when you worry too much it can get overwhelming, and it can make you anxious and upset. Excessive worry can result in developing an anxiety disorder – even in children.
Our website includes information about various anxiety disorders that can effect children and teens.
At ARCVic, we run a series of workshops to support you in supporting your children with anxiety.
“As a parent I have struggled to find the most appropriate support for my child and felt ill-informed and unprepared. The workshop was excellent, informative and I feel I have a better understanding about children’s anxiety and what I can do as a parent to support them.” – Mother of a 6 year old.
“Thank you very much for your presentation on Tuesday night on the topic of anxiety in children…it was fantastic…to see so many people in the audience – to know that one isn’t alone.” – Y.F., Mother
