Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude Magazine.

Hello, I'm Carol Fleck and on behalf of the Attitude Team, I'm pleased to welcome you

to today's ADHD Experts Presentation, Anxiety in Children, Overlook Science and Effective Supports.

Anxiety is the most common mental health concern among children and teens today.

Although anxiety is highly treatable, its symptoms and children are often overlooked by parents, teachers, and medical professionals alike, and not without consequence.

Early diagnosis and intervention are key to minimizing difficulties later in life.

In today's webinar, we'll learn more about the signs of anxiety in children and teens and the factors that contribute to it.

We'll also learn about the strategies and tools that help anxious children and teens.

Leading today's presentation is Dr. Caroline Buzenko.

Dr. Buzenko is a licensed psychologist and clinical director of Chorru Family Psychology.

She has worked with children who have neurodevelopmental disorders and their families for more than 20 years.

She focuses on maximizing connection, confidence, and resilience.

Dr. Buzenko facilitates ADHD-related groups and workshops across North America and is an adjunct assistant professor at the University of Calgary.

Before I hand over the microphone to Dr. Buzenko, I have just a few housekeeping items.
