I am popping in just really quick this week to give you guys a huge announcement.

We have our first ever webinar posted on our website.

So this is a class that is a workshop for parents.

The subject is raising an anxious generation.

So this whole thing, I got an idea from being asked to talk for a local group of women, one of their women's conferences this last last weekend.

So I was prepping it for the last three months on this specific subject of how can we parent a generation that is getting so hard by mental health, but specifically anxiety.

So while I was building this workshop for them, I realized we all need this as parents.

I needed it.

And I have two under two, right?

And it's just, it's been a remarkable thing to start off doing this journey with my children and having this information.

I wish every parent would have it starting off.

So the workshop that I recorded for you guys, and it's a ton of information in there, guys, you're gonna want it.

But it comes with.

You can buy the workbook with the workshop.

It's online.

It's on our website.

Check it out.

Uhane Counseling, that's u h A N e counseling dot com.

And it's underneath our store or our workshops, right?

So you can find in a few different links, you can DM us on Instagram, whatever you want to do, we're going to have it everywhere.

But this podcast is all about highlighting what anxiety is.

We all have it, right?

Especially this generation.

We all have some form of it, highlighting what it is, explaining how it works.

But also we're highlighting how as parents and caregivers of kids, if you're even like a teacher or somehow interact with youth in your life for adolescence, this is for you.

This is to help you be able to understand where they're coming from.

Gen Z is getting hit by all sides.

From technology, from expectations, from world changes, from academic changes.

Hello, AI.

There's so many things as parents that we have had to navigate, but also as caregivers for children.

I remember I was not a parent yet and Covid started, right?

How insane was that?

So we workshop.

You will go in, you will learn about what anxiety is, how contributing factors in the environment has assisted in forming more of this increase.

Also how as parents, we are modeling and showing some of these behaviors or some of these processes and reinforcing it.

And then what can we do?

How can we support as parents, as caregivers, as people in teens lives and adolescents lives to be able to better them and to help them navigate this world.

You will leave this workshop with very, very tangible skills.

First off, you'll know how to do or open, avoid and reflect certain things in conversation.

Second, you will get basic skills that I got as a therapist, which honestly, these, these I use every single day.

You will get tangible examples and prompts on how to use those conversation skills.

Right.

You will also leave with some trackers, some emotional trackers and other things to continue to help support.

Because anxiety, if we can identify the emotions, identify the physical reactions, as well as identify the cognitive or thought process that are built from the anxiety, we can combat it, we can help support, and we can understand where our teens are coming from.

And that is what you're going to leave with after watching this workshop.

So if you guys want it, check it out.

It's very informative.

I'm pretty excited about it because I feel like as a parent, I needed it.

I've already changed things for my 2 and 1 year old that I didn't even think about or consider before.

Even though I work in this field every day, it's definitely changed how I view things and what I go back to and some of the basics that I'm going back to now.

And I've appreciated this in my life, which is kind of funny having to research and do all these things.

So you will also leave at the end with a list of resources of other books, resources, podcasts, TED talks, everything that can also support and continue your education on how to best support your teens.

So check it out on our website and I'll see you guys later.
