SUN 10/15 @ 2:00pm | Guest Heather Boorman, LCSW, on Intensity, Anxiety, & Existential Worry

Heather Boorman, LCSW, joins St. Croix Valley Gifted for a conversation about helping kids find paths through socio-emotional intensity, anxiety, or existential worry.

Kids may feel they’re lost in the woods on an ordinary school day. Tests and assignments. Peer relationships, bullying, or social pressure to conform. Family dynamics and stress at home. Desire for connection and understanding. Untangling big emotions and frustration. Making sense of social media or events in their world.

Topic | Finding Paths Through: Helping Kids with Socio-Emotional Intensity, Anxiety, or Existential Worry – Download Flyer (color or grayscale .pdf)

When | Sunday 10/15, 2:00 – 4:00pm

Where | Stillwater Public Library, Margaret Rivers B
224 Third St. N., Stillwater

When trees crowd around them, when intensities rule kids’ everyday experiences, when various needs go unmet, or when cognitive wiring works differently from others around them, kids’ distress signals can go unnoticed, go underground, get beyond their control, and get in the way of finding a path through the woods.
