We are living in a time of more stress and anxiety in youth than ever before. The Surgeon General has called the youth mental health crisis the “Defining public health challenge of our time.” Anxiety can interfere with learning, physical health, relationships and have lifelong impacts.
In this presentation, Dr. Jonathon Dalton will discuss specific and actionable steps that parents and professionals can take to address this anxiety crisis. Specifically, he will discuss the foundation of anxiety disorders and the central role that avoidance plays in the development and maintenance of these disorders. However, he will also focus on specific and often counterintuitive strategies that parents and professionals can use to help reduce the suffering of young people living with anxiety.
Dr. Dalton is a licensed psychologist specializes in evidence-based treatment of anxiety and related disorders. He founded the Center for Anxiety and Behavioral Change (CABC) in 2011. He has provided extensive training and consultation to schools and school systems locally and nationwide and values presenting to community organizations on his areas of expertise.
