Treating Emotional Dysregulation in Kids & Adolescents: Ready-To-Use Interventions for Anxiety, Worry, Reactivity, and Depression (CD) (ISBN-13: 9798228355392)

Practical, ready-to-use interventions to help kids and teens ease anxiety, improve mood, and stay in control.

That's what you'll find in Treating Emotional Dysregulation in Kids & Adolescents. Written for front-line professionals in schools, communities, and therapy offices, this one-of-a-kind resource offers structured, ready-made frameworks that target the three most common mental health struggles in young people: anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation and reactivity.

With clear directions, jargon-free handouts and exercises, scripts, and more, this unique guide has everything you need to provide evidence-based interventions that feel "doable" for kids so they can understand their emotional experiences, identify patterns, and learn skills to feel better.

The psychoeducation, skill-building, and lifestyle changes included in this book can be implemented right away to help kids: identify and interrupt anxious thoughts, regulate their "anxiety alarms," and overcome avoidance; get unstuck from depressed moods, engage in daily tasks, and improve motivation and self-esteem; tolerate frustration, ride big waves of emotions, and think before acting; manage the stress of school, extracurriculars, friends, social media, and family; and pursue more comprehensive treatment if needed.

You don't have to be an expert to guide kids toward more resilience, self-control, and empowerment. You just need to be equipped, confident, and willing to show up.
