McLean Hospital Family Support Series and Open Workshops: Norwood High School is excited to partner with McLean Hospital this year as part of the School Consultation Service program. As part of our partnership, McLean staff will facilitate four workshops intended to support parents and guardians. The second workshop is this Friday – please see below for details. Workshop Title: A Guide to Helping Your Child Approach Difficult Challenges Time/Date: Friday 11/5/2021 12:00PM-1:30PM (recorded and made available for 30 days if you cannot attend). Description: Have you ever gotten a text from your child begging you to pick them up because they feel too anxious? Has your child ever tried to avoid an important activity (e.g., school, homework, extracurriculars, sleepovers) due to feeling anxious? If you’ve answered yes, you have probably wondered what to do next. Should you let them stay home? Force them to go? This parent workshop by the McLean School Consultation Service will help to answer these difficult questions and more. You will leave this workshop with more tools for helping your child approach difficult situations. Link to live workshop: https://partners.zoom.us/j/81741298124
