This engaging, practical 4 hour, small group workshop is designed for parents/carers of children who experience anxiety.
Presented by Dr Amanda Mullin, Doctor Of Clinical Psychology, Director of the award winning Mindworx Psychology, and one of Sydney's leading speakers in the field of mental health.
