Helping Your Student Deal with Stress and Anxiety

Here is an exciting learning opportunity this month for parents of students with learning differences!  Feelings of stress and anxiety related to school can seem overwhelming, to both students and their families; students who experience learning differences can be particularly affected.  Oconee County Schools' next Weeknight Workshop for parents has been planned to help families with this issue.  Drs. Abelkop, Mason, Peters & Prowell from Athens Psychological Services will share information on identifying signs of stress, coping with anxiety, and ideas to enable families to navigate these issues successfully; a question and answer session will follow.  In order to encourage free discussion, this workshop is for parents only; childcare is not provided. This free Weeknight Workshop will be on Monday, November 16, at 6:30 pm in the Community Meeting Room at Oconee Veterans Park (3500A Hog Mountain Road, Watkinsville).
