Description
When your child shows signs of anxiety or depression, it’s hard to know what to say, what to do and how to get them the help they need. Most caregivers are left to figure it out on their own. Ready to Care: Youth with Depression and Anxiety, an evidence-based online course, shows you how to navigate your role as a caregiver with short, plain-language lessons you can complete at your own pace.
Built for busy parents, guardians and family caregivers, it offers clear guidance in short, plain-language lessons. In this course, you’ll learn how to:
- Identify the signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression across ages, including identifying suicide and self-harm risk.
- Understand available evidence-based therapies, including CBT, play therapy and exposure therapy.
- Navigate school and accommodations.
- Support youth at home, including communication strategies, sibling support and family safety plans.
- Support your own mental wellbeing and stress.
- Identify resources and support networks.
