Anxiety: The Silent Affliction
Currey Ingram
Presented by Paris Goodyear-Brown, MSW, LCSW, RPT-S, founder and director of Nurture House.
Ms. Goodyear-Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor with 20 years of experience in treating families in need. While she specializes in treating trauma (sexual abuse, physical abuse, maltreatment and neglect) and attachment disturbances, she often provides help for anxious, angry or depressed children and teens. She is an Adjunct Instructor of Psychiatric Mental Health at Vanderbilt University, guest lecturer for several universities in middle Tennessee, and has an international reputation as a dynamic speaker and innovative clinician.
Anxiety is a pervasive problem in modern America. Paris will discuss the roots of anxiety, how it operates within families, and how to become a team "bossing it back" together! She will also provide insights on when to help a child to "do the scary thing anyway” and when to co-regulate the child. Some playful ways to fight anxiety around the holidays will also be shared.
