Want to add the ‘chill factor’ to your after-school program? This course provides youth workers with practical tools to help anxious children through the vulnerable shift from structured school days to unstructured after-school time. You will explore the 10 Hallmarks Framework, learn to identify signs of hidden anxiety, such as perfectionism and masking, and use evidence-based strategies, such as co-regulation and pressure-reducing language. By addressing the homework dilemma and balancing routine with options, you’ll turn your program into a space where every child can breathe, belong, and thrive.
