Too much? Not enough? Finding the JUST RIGHT Balance of Your Parental Food Allergy Anxiety
There is a higher prevalence of anxiety in individuals of any age that battle food allergies. As parents, you may see these symptoms appear in your child’s day-to-day activities and they may even prevent your child from doing everyday things. In this discussion, Dr. Kelly Cleary of FARE and Tamara Hubbard, licensed clinical professional counselor and founder of Your Food Allergy Counselor will shed light on parental food allergy anxiety and teach strategies to manage your OWN anxiety about food allergies which will impact the ways in which your child responds to his/her adjustment to having food allergies and improve his/her coping with stressors that arise. Because we can never eliminate the anxiety surrounding food allergies, let’s focus on ways to empower families to shift their mindsets.
