Helping your teenagers with exam anxiety

The Trina Mara Podcast

Bree O'Neill runs the ISPCC's Digital Mental Health and Wellbeing programmes and with the exams looming, the ISPCC are providing webinars to assist students and their parents through this stressful time. How can you help your anxious child when you're feeling anxious yourself?

ISPCC is offering two free webinars on coping with exam anxiety – the first is specifically for parents and carers, while the second will focus on young people along with their parents and carers.

The two-part series will focus on explaining what anxiety actually is and how it manifests itself, support for dealing with an anxious child, anxiety management tips and tools and Childline’s Digital Mental Health and Wellbeing programmes, which provide free ongoing support for both young people and their parents.

They will be hosted by ISPCC parenting lead Siobhan Harvey and Niamh Clarke, Manager of ISPCC Smart Moves programme, while Bree O’Neill who manages Childline’s Digital Mental Health and Wellbeing programmes will be the keynote speaker.
