Parent Event ~ Our Age of Anxiety: Supporting Your Child's Emotional Health

Please join us at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.therobohub.com/" target="_blank">The Robo Hub</a>&nbsp;for an important and illuminating parent workshop. Parents today face the challenge of raising children to lead their best lives, but within the context of a post-pandemic world that continues to feel scary. This session will help participants understand and distinguish healthy from impairing anxiety in children and teens. Through interactive experiences, participants will leave with concrete skills to promote emotional health in youth of all ages with varying types and severity of worries. Presented by Dr. Alison Schonwald and Laura Shulman Brochstein. Alison Schonwald MD, FAAP&nbsp;is a national leader in the field of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Dr. Schonwald led the preeminent Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics fellowship training program for several years during her 23 years at Boston Children's Hospital, while teaching medical students, residents, general pediatricians, and her specialist colleagues. She is a popular speaker at local and national conferences, focusing on autism, ADHD, psychopharmacology, and early diagnosis of developmental disorders. Her research on developmental screening and contributions to state-wide screening is recognized as instrumental in practice improvement. Dr. Schonwald has held many leadership positions. An Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, she is in the Department of Pediatrics at Cambridge Health Alliance, currently works with the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Board of Pediatrics, and just stepped down from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care. She is currently a principal at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.touchstonema.com/" target="_blank">Touchstone Neurodevelopment Center</a>&nbsp;in Woburn. Laura Shulman Brochstein MA, MSW, LICSW&nbsp;is a licensed clinical social worker specializing in children and teens struggling with depression, anxiety and social challenges stemming from developmental disorders. Laura works with parents and caregivers providing psychoeducation and support around psychosocial stressors for children with disabilities and parent mental health support. Laura integrates a psychodynamic approach with cognitive and mindfulness-based techniques to support parents in accessing their innate wisdom as they raise their children. Laura graduated from Bates College and Brandeis University which led to a career in non-profit fundraising and program development. After Laura’s son was diagnosed with autism, her professional interests shifted, leading her to pursue a Master’s Degree in social work from Salem State University. Laura has worked in a variety of clinical settings with children and families including Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Greater Boston, Children’s Friend and Family Services of Lynn and Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Boston where she is currently the Clinical Program Director.
