Dyslexia and Mental Health - support strategies for parents and their children

The everyday interactions that children with dyslexia and their parents have with schooling can be extremely stressful. Consistently negative experiences with tasks such as completing schoolwork and having parent teaching interviews can leave individuals struggling with anxiety and/or depression.  This workshop will help participants to firstly identify signs of anxiety or depression within themselves and their children. This is particularly important as acknowledging mental health concerns can be the first step in addressing them. Included in this presentation will be strategies for teaching your child to manage their anxiety and tips for parent self-care during the difficult schooling years. 

Please note this workshop will be delivered online through the platform, Zoom. You will receive the handouts, together with the Zoom workshop link via email on the morning of Tuesday, 16 March 2021.  If you have not received an email by 12:00pm on Tuesday, please check your junk mail.
