All children worry at times, but for some, anxiety can become a real challenge to manage. In this talk, Dr Mary O’Kane – a lecturer in Psychology and Early Childhood Education, author, and regular contributor to Ireland AM – will explain how anxiety affects children’s brains and bodies. She will share practical advice to help parents and carers support young people during stressful or difficult times.

The event is part of the Healthy Ireland at Your Library initiative, promoting community wellbeing and access to reliable mental health information through local library services.
