**Now Offering Medical Setting Anxiety Training for Parents/Caregivers!**
A national poll conducted by C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital showed half of young children fear doctor's visits, with fear of injections/needles the most common experience driving this. A study published in the Journal of Dentistry found that one-third of young children have dental anxiety. Unfortunately, children do not "grow out of" this fear. In fact, it seems that as we age, these fears actually increase. Over 60% of adults have anxiety about medical interventions, especially those involving needles, and nearly 75% of adults have anxiety about dental appointments. Do you hope to avoid this same fate for your child(ren)?
Brave and Balanced's 2-4 session medical setting anxiety training aids parents/caregivers - including those with their own medical setting anxiety - to best support their child(ren)'s emotional reactions, including anxiety, in medical settings and during medical interventions. This includes training parents how to best prepare and support their child for specialist visits and specialist medical interventions, routine vaccinations, blood draws, dental visits, and a wide variety of other scenarios.
