Managing Anxiety | Overview
Anxiety is one of the most common behavioral health disorders among children and adolescents in the United States. To support families with helping their children and adolescents manage anxiety, Boston Children’s Hospital Neighborhood Partnerships (BCHNP) developed a compelling documentary: Managing Anxiety: Information for Parents and Caregivers.
This documentary features children, adolescents, young adults, and parents sharing their stories, struggles, and successes in coping with anxiety. The video also offers strategies for finding support in school and in the community for children and adolescents.
Watch the documentary below, or visit this YouTube link.
In addition to watching the documentary, download our guide for information on managing anxiety in childhood and adolescence. It includes strategies to be used at home and school, where to find additional support, and how to access resources.
Please keep in mind that most of the information presented in this video and booklet are from a Western approach to health, although some materials may be universal.
We would like to thank the individuals and families who generously shared their stories with us and participated in the documentary.
