Erupting Angst: Understanding the collision between anger & aggression in the world of anxiety
This workshop will seek to provide an understanding of the reasons why anger and aggression often become the challenging mask behind which anxiety hides.
The experience of anxiety in the growing child is one that constantly moves and shifts in how it presents. Often, rather than showing its colors through sadness and tears, anxiety presents with anger and aggression. In fact, it is typically the symptoms of “irritability,” “defiance,” and outwardly or inwardly directed “aggression” that results in parents’ pursuit of supports for themselves and/or their child. In this workshop we will explore exactly why anxiety is often expressed through the explosive and/or simmering symptoms of anger and aggression. In knowing these connections, we will position ourselves to better understand the response our children need from us in the face of their erupting angst.
Dr. Vanessa Lapointe Rpsych, registered psychologist, speaker, and mother, works with communities, parents, and children to cultivate a sense of hope in the face of mental health and related challenges

Start With Strengths: change the lens, change the story

When we start with the strengths and positives of our students, we look through a different lens and work to create the conditions for real success, increased self-confidence, and a changed story of life at school.
