The Highly Sensitive Person/Highly Sensitive Child

Are you, or is a child you love, highly sensitive? An estimated 15 to 20% of the adult and child population is considered highly sensitive. These people are aware of subtleties in their surroundings, a great advantage in many situations, but can also become overwhelmed by an excess of sights and sounds. Learn more from Harriet Porter, a licensed clinical social worker for more than 30 years. Participants will complete a self-test and life-style suggestions for highly sensitive people (adults and children) will be discussed. Information based on research by Elaine Aron.
