Parents offered anxiety program for their children

Ettalong Public School is seeking expressions of interest from parents and carers of children who would benefit from a new program designed to manage anxiety.

Principal Ms Lynn Balfour said the school was currently in discussion with the Read Clinic about forming an anxiety program that would assist students struggling with anxiety by teaching them techniques to identify and manage their thoughts and feelings that make them anxious.

The program would be delivered in a collaborative group setting.

Ms Balfour said an expression of interest slip was available for parents and carers who felt this program could benefit their child.
