CHOC Mental Health Education Program | General Community Webinar | Building Resilience

A Child and Adolescent Mental Health expert from CHOC Children’s Hospital of Orange County will talk with parents about stress, resilience, safety concerns, and proactive coping strategies. We all hit road bumps and disappointments in life, and developing the ability to bounce back from these experiences during childhood and adolescence can help us stay resilient throughout the rest of our lives. This brief workshop outlines specific, small steps children and families can take to build their own resilience so that they can face future challenges with confidence, strength, and flexibility.
