If so, our new sibling workshop at Practice San Francisco is for you (and your kids!)!

Each sibling workshop is 60 minutes, facilitated by our experienced licensed therapists, and designed to give your kids a fun and engaging success experience in working together as a team.

Each session involves explicit instruction and skill development around teamwork that kids and parents/caregivers will put to work in the context of fun and collaborative STEAM activities, with specific activities varying by session. Structure, support, and troubleshooting will be provided by our experienced staff.

Price: $200 (per sibling pair, $250 for a trio of siblings).

In Mighty Minds, our skilled clinicians and experienced support staff utilize evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies that support kids’ ability to regulate their emotions.

We integrate research-based emotional regulation skills with fun, experiential games and activities that connect kids’ interests to make the material compelling and engaging.

As parents, it is TOUGH to watch our kids struggling with anxiety. And it’s also hard to know exactly how best to help! Dr. Nina Kaiser provides a road map around HOW to support your child-- both in terms of how to respond to kids in the moments that they are anxious, and also in terms of how to talk about and plan for anxiety proactively in order to make it more likely that kids build the skills they need to navigate new anxiety-provoking situations as they come up.

Topics covered include:

1. An overview of what we know about how anxiety works

2. Why kids’ anxiety is triggering for us as parents (and how to cope!)

3. Language for talking with our kids about anxiety

4. Ideas for how to work with our kids in the moment they are experiencing anxiety in order to help them calm down

5. Ways to encourage kids to access and use anxiety management tools

6. Parent strategies for responding to reassurance-seeking behavior

7. Parent strategies for managing anxiety-related avoidance

8. Answers to questions like:

9. How do we as parents support kids with using their words when they're overwhelmed with anxiety?

10. How can you better prepare kids for situations that you wouldn't expect to trigger their anxiety?

11. How to get kids to open up about experiences that were stressful for them after the fact?
