Program Description: Anxiety and School Performance
Anxiety has become a major concern for close to a majority of students ranging from the elementary level through college and beyond. Academics and the developmental issues students must manage have always been demanding. The use of computers and social media have exacerbated these demands. Perhaps more than any area other than executive functioning, (the two topics go hand-in-hand), anxiety is the most common reason for referral for behavioral health services. Understanding and management of anxiety is an important skill for psychologists as well as educators, parents, and other health care providers.
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will be able to:
describe relevant data regarding anxiety as well as causes of anxiety.
identify children and adolescents who may be at risk for anxiety.
explain behaviors related to student anxiety at home and at school.
describe and differentiate the treatments found acceptable for individuals identified with anxiety.
