Dear Parents / Guardians,
The Calgary Board of Education is inviting all community members to join us for an inspiring evening of learning with experts in understanding anxiety. Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns affecting children and families across the lifespan. Parents and schools play an essential role in helping children manage their anxiety. This session will explore what anxiety and stress are, how to recognize it, and how to support resilience.
On April 4, the CBE’s Well-Being team will host a free online session where parents will be able to join and learn from to experts in the field of health promotion, ask questions and receive follow-up materials.
You are invited to join us at the virtual session from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 pm on Tuesday April 4th.

Understanding Anxiety
Child and Youth Well-Being Series for Families and CaregiversTuesday, April 4, 20236:30 to 8:00 p.m.
CBE educators believe that parents and caregivers can inspire their kids to make healthy lifestyle choices and increase protective factors — in order to do so, they need the right tools and information.Since our understanding of student health and well-being is evolving, it is important for parents to stay up-to-date on the same information so everyone is supporting student success. This is the fourth session offered in a five-part Child and Youth Well-Being for Families and Caregivers learning series that is offered at no-cost to all Calgary Board of Education employees, families, and community members between December 2022 and May 2023.
The intention of the series is to advance student well-being by raising family and caregiver’s understanding of a variety of health-related topics. Each session focuses on reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors.
The last session will focus on Understanding Social Media (May 2, 2023). Communication about this last session will be distributed separately.
You are a key partner in your child’s education and student well-being is critically linked to student achievement.
Thank you for your time and consideration to join us.
Sincerely,
Dalhousie School
