Understanding & Treating Anxiety in Children

Description

Dearborn Academy’s Howard Rossman 2019 Speaker Series celebrates the varied ways in which students learn. The three-part series, free to the public, begins with Understanding & Treating Anxiety in Children, a presentation by Drs. Sabrina Popp & Xenia Bembe Johnson on mental health in adolescents and the use of medications in treatment.
