All kids and teens will eventually reach the edge of what feels comfortable. This is what growth looks like – doing something that’s hard, new, or important. Maybe it will happen when they to the sports field, when they’re sitting the exam, speaking in front of the class, saying ‘no’ when everyone is telling them to say ‘yes’, taking the driving test, showing up for the job interview.

And anxiety will have opinions: ‘Don’t do that thing – you might not have what it takes.’ ‘Don’t say that thing – you might not cope if you aren’t exactly like them.’ ‘What if you do it and it’s a mess?’ We want brave to have a voice too. Let’s talk about how to do that. Raising Brave is a webinar for anyone who wants to help a young person to move towards the safe, growthful, important things that matter – even when every part of them is shouting, ‘Nope. Absolutely not.’

We’ll explore how courage grows, what gets in the way, how to know when to step in, when to step back, and how to help kids and teens take the next brave step. Because every young person will meet anxiety. We want them to know what to do when they do.

The time will be 1pm AEST (Brisbane time) on 10 September. If you don’t live in Brisbane, use the time zone converter here to see what time it is in your local time.

If you can’t make the ‘live’, because it’s the middle of the night where you are, or the middle of mayhem, or just because – not to worry. All registered participants will receive the link to the recording to watch in your own time and at your own pace.
