Supporting Children with Anxiety

The last year has had an unprecedented impact on everyone. In some children, this has caused an increase in anxiety levels. As per the HSE website, it's normal for children to feel worried or anxious from time to time. However, if the level of anxiety a child experiences has a negative impact on their behaviour and thoughts and it is interfering with their home and school lives, it is crucial to get professional support. Speak to your GP if you have such concerns about your child.

Here are some resources that may help you support your child if they are dealing with such feelings.
