Why This Topic Matters

Anxiety affects many young people: roughly one in three teens and one in ten children struggle with an anxiety disorder.

When a child or teenager feels anxious, parents, educators, and caregivers often feel lost—wanting to help but unsure how.

In this talk, Stephen draws on over 20 years of experience to clarify what anxiety really is, highlight common missteps well-meaning adults make, and share three essential tools you can begin applying immediately to support the children in your life.

What You’ll Gain

Audience members leave with:

A clearer understanding of anxiety and how it manifests in kids and teens

Awareness of typical pitfalls adults fall into when trying to “fix” anxiety

Practical, real-world strategies you can use right away to help

More confidence in engaging—with compassion and effectiveness—with anxious children
