The Library hosts a panel on "Promoting Child Resilience in an Age of Anxiety." The panel will includes Ellen Flannery-Schroeder, Professor of Psychology at URI and Co-director of the New England Center for Anxiety, and Maureen Masson, Stonington High School Psychologist.

Two local experts will explore the topic of anxiety as it appears in children and adolescents. Come learn what anxiety is, how some aspects of modern life contribute to its prevalence, and what treatments work best.

Ellen and Maureen will offer concrete suggestions about how to build resilience in young people in general, as well as what to do to help a young person struggling with anxiety. They will pay particular attention to how schools, clinicians, and parents can work together to promote resilience and mental health in the school-aged population.

Ellen, in addition to teaching in the Psychology Department at URI, works in a clinical setting as a cognitive behavioral therapist, treating children, adolescents, and adults suffering from anxiety. Maureen works in a school setting as a school psychologist.
