Social anxiety in children is among the four most common forms of anxiety. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress.

This workshop will provide participants with an understanding of anxiety and demonstrate cognitive behavior and directive play therapy interventions for children and adolescents. Play, art and case scenarios will be part of this learning experience. In the face of COVID-19, a surge of cases of anxiety is expected, requiring creativity and innovation. Don’t get left behind.

State the diagnostic criteria for Social Anxiety
Identify the tenets of CBT as described by Aaron Beck, MD and examples of how to integrate CBT with play therapy
