Rhew is a powerful speaker who will provide essential tools for parents on how to build resilience in children of any age.
Her presentation will review specific interventions designed to assist children in managing their anxiety, increasing their motivation, setting healthy goals, and successfully engaging in school. Also explored in the presentation will be the issues of school avoidance and maladaptive coping responses.
Rhew will also help parents develop strategies to assist their children with healthy coping responses and engage them in effective communication and language that promotes self-advocacy and independence.
