Dr David Coleman – Helping Children & Teenagers with Anxiety

Dear Parent/ Guardian,

I hope your son is enjoying the summer break despite the poor weather.  I would like to draw your attention to an event that is currently advertised by Siamsa Tíre and might be of interest to some of you.  Psychologist Dr David Coleman will give a talk on September 21st on helping children and teenagers with anxiety.  Please read the blurb below for more information. As this event has not been organised by CBS The Green all queries and booking must go through Siamsa Tíre .

However, a talk by Evan Costigan of 'Brainbox' has been booked for parents of The Green on October 11th and will be free of charge - topic: Parenting Teens - A road map to Wellbeing (more information to follow).

Information regarding David Coleman talk:

Anxiety is a normal and important part of our lives. We need to be able to get anxious to keep safe, but sometimes children and teenagers can get so anxious that it prevents them from doing regular things in their everyday lives. In this presentation, David will focus on understanding how anxiety affects children, teenagers and families and will give concrete and practical tips for how to help children deal with the stresses and pressures in their lives.

With David’s usual blend of expert knowledge, common sense, sensitivity and humour, and an open forum questions and answers at the end, the talk should be of interest to anyone living with or working with children.

Show Details:

• Dates/Times: 21st Sept 2023 @8pm

• Tickets: €25 +Booking fee.

We look forward to welcoming your son back to school later in the month.

Kind regards,

Helen Hayes
