Part 1: What is Worry
June 30, 2020By Missy Ressler
COVID-19 has created a lot of new stress for children and families. Schreiber’s Behavioral Health therapists wanted to provide some resources to help you navigate the daily challenges. We’re launching this series of blog posts on the topic of anxiety. We will publish two a week for the next three weeks. Today, the first post is a video called What is Worry.
Here’s the list of all the posts:
Post 1: What is Worry
