Episode 41: Children's Anxiety

Mini First Aid Episode 41

Is your child’s worry just a wobble – or something more? In this week’s Family Health podcast, Kate chats with youth solution-focused therapist Lisa Blackwell from The Youth Fairy to explore the sharp rise in anxiety among children. 

From the early signs to look out for, to understanding what’s happening in your child’s brain, Lisa shares practical tools and everyday tips that can make a real difference. 

Whether it’s the impact of COVID, social media, or just the overwhelm of growing up, this conversation will leave you better informed – and reassured that help is out there. 

A must-listen for parents, carers and anyone supporting young people today.

Lisa Blackwell is a member of The Youth Fairy, a UK wide team of therapists, specialising in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy for children, teens, and young adults.

In addition to working one-on-one with children, the Youth Fairies lead wellbeing programmes in schools and run workshops for parents, equipping them with the knowledge to better understand their child's brain and support their journey towards becoming happier, calmer, and more confident.
