  How has the pandemic shaped children's mental health—and what can parents do to help?

  Join Rob Adams, PsyD, of Barlow & Adams Behavioral Health, for a conversation on the lasting effects of COVID-19 on kids’ anxiety, social development and emotional well-being. Designed for parents of children birth through age 12, this program will explore rising anxiety rates, shifts in social connection and how some children are struggling with social anxiety, skill delays or reduced interest in peers. Dr. Adams will share practical, developmentally appropriate strategies to support your child’s mental health, build resilience and foster meaningful connection in today’s world.

  This program is for adults only and is presented in partnership with Westlake Porter Public Library and the Rotary Club of Westlake-Bay Village.

  Childcare is available for this event for ages 1-12, but registration is required. Childcare is supported by a grant from GPD Employees’ Foundation.

  Is your child communicating in ways that don’t fit the traditional mold, and you're wondering how best to support their growth? Are you curious about how to foster meaningful, affirming language development that meets your child where they are? Join Anne Fleming Anderson, MA, CCC-SLP, Senior Clinical Speech Pathologist with the Cleveland Clinic, for a deep dive into neuroaffirming approaches to communication that honor each child’s unique voice.

  Families will learn how to create natural, motivating opportunities for language development through individualized strategies rooted in connection, interest and everyday moments. This program will introduce key ideas from Gestalt language processing, explore how to reframe traditional views of speech and pragmatic language and offer practical tools for supporting communication in a way that is respectful, responsive and empowering.

  This program is for adults only and is presented in partnership with Lakewood Family Room and is supported by a grant from the Healthy Lakewood Foundation.

  Childcare is available for this event for ages 1-12, but registration is required.
