Paediatric anxiety : how the brain works and strategies to assist the anxious child

The course was well presented and thorough, without being too complicated and boring. I appreciated the strategies to assist children who present with anxiety.

I learned so much.

I really enjoyed Naomi's presentation. I feel that I learnt so much around the physiology of anxiety, its presentation in children, and the approach to intervention.
