$Talking Exam Stress: For parents\/carers at Berkhamsted School (694)$

How to support your young person as they face upcoming exams
About this Event
"I found the workshop extremely helpful. I knew my son was stressed but nothing seemed to help. I now have a much better understanding of what he needs and how to support him through exam time."

The mental health and well being of young people has never been under more scrutiny and is a matter of concern for many parents.

When our children face exams, the levels of stress in the household can increase dramatically and it is often hard for parents to watch their young person struggle, and know what to do for the best to help and support them through this difficult period.

Increasingly parents are asking for support in helping their children with issues around stress and anxiety, particularly at times of pressure such as exam season. Our workshop is a response to that need.

Run by highly experienced facilitators, counsellors and parenting practitioners, this workshop will help parents to understand:

The science of stress
Why appropriate stress can help us
When does stress become a problem
Helping our teenagers manage their own stress
Preventing stress from building up
Responding to a stressed teen during exam periods
helping young people to understand what they can do to reduce stress during exams
How to support your child after their exam

The Supporting Links ethos is to help parents to use new knowledge and strategies within their own families and, thereby, support their young person now and as they develop important stress management skills for the future.

The session will include a Q& A.

The workshop will take place using Zoom and is suitable for all parents and carers of pupils from Year 7 within the Berkhamsted Schools Group.
