Provincial: ‘Feel Better Box’- A toolkit for school-aged children with anxiety and autism

 Registration is closed for this event

(English Event Only) 

Workshop description: Autistic children are twice as likely to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder compared to children without autism. This workshop will provide brief solution-focused strategies to support parents in helping their school-age children (ages 7-12) cope with anxiety.  They will be given practical strategies for teaching emotional awareness and improving coping skills. Parents will be given ideas of “tools” to create a ‘Feel Better Box’ for their child.

She completed her Master of Social Work designation at the University of Toronto where she gained practicum experience at the Hospital for Sick Children. Over the past 7 years, Danielle has worked in child welfare and children’s treatment. Most recently, Danielle was the social worker in an Autism Hub. She provided brief- and ongoing emotional and instrumental support to autistic children and their families.
