Batavia Public School District 101: BSPN To Host Presentation, "Signs Your Child May Be Depressed Or Anxious"

Press release from Batavia Public School District 101:

October 21, 2021

Many children have fears and worries and may feel sad and hopeless from time to time. Strong fears may appear at different times during development.  Although changing moods can be typical in children, persistent or extreme forms of fear and sadness could be due to anxiety or depression. Because the symptoms primarily involve thoughts and feelings, they are sometimes called internalizing disorders.  As the name suggests, they are important concerns that can be missed. 

Please join us to learn about signs to look for in youth at different ages, how outside agencies may support your family, and the role of the school in accessing your child’s education. These are 

important pieces of the puzzle when developing a treatment plan for a child and their family.  

When: Thursday, January 13th @ 6:30 PM

Target Audience:  All parents or caregivers 

Location:  Batavia High School – 1201 Main Street. Please enter off of the Main Street entrance and park in the main lot, entering through the front doors. 

Room 101A 

Speakers:  Batavia School District Student Services Administration & Dr. Vinita Menon from Thrive Collective 

Sponsored by Batavia Special Needs Network (BSPN)
