Description

Stress, pressure, and the general busyness of growing up in the modern world can trigger negative thought patterns in kids.  
And they continue to endure higher levels of stress and pressure across domains (school, extracurricular activities, sports)—it's a lot to process on any given day, and negative thinking can snowball quickly.  
The good news is that kids can learn to tap into positive psychology to work through their intrusive thoughts and focus on their strengths, instead.  
Join Katie Hurley DSW, LCSW and author of The Stress-Buster Workbook for Kids (PESI Publishing 2021) as she teaches you tools rooted in Cognitive Behavior Therapy. 
You’ll be equipped to: 

  • Spot the signs of cognitive, physical, and emotional stress and anxiety 
  • Assess symptoms of stress and anxiety and how they present at different ages 
  • Notice the warning signs of negative thinking in kids 
  • Help young clients positively reframe intrusive thoughts 
  • And more. 

Get tried-and-true strategies to help kids navigate the stressors of everyday life, overcome challenges and build self-confidence.
