Mental Health in Young Children
Sunday, October 6 | 11:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. | A101
The mental health of our young children is a concern for every parent and parents often feel ill equipped to help their children identify and talk about their emotions.
HopeWay’s Director of Child & Adolescent Services, Taren Coley, M.D. speaks with parents on how to identify mental health challenges, including anxiety in their young children. Dr. Coley will also provide parents with tools for helping their children recognize and manage their emotions.
Caregivers Support Group
Tuesday, October 15 | 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. | Cornerstone House
Providing ongoing care for family or friends who are in declining health can be exhausting. What can help is a community of others who are in similar situations and who understand the unique challenges that come with being a caregiver.
Beginning Tuesday, October 15, Rev. Dr. Susan Roddey will facilitate a caregivers support group for all who are involved in caring for family or friends who are in declining health.
