Understanding Anxiety: New Tools for Providers

Knowing when a young person’s anxiety is typical and when it is approaching clinical levels is critical for primary care providers and other professionals who work with children and adolescents.

A new training module, part of a new series of free tools from a project run by ICI and the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain, aims to help professionals better understand and assess childhood anxiety. The project includes 125 teams nationwide working to increase access to behavioral health and developmental resources for rural and military-connected families and providers.
