Separation Anxiety involves intense, persistent fear of being away from caregivers, often severely disrupting school attendance, social activities, and daily development. In this webinar, InStride Health team members Jacqueline Hapenny, PsyD, and Carrie Chiasson, PsyD, break down how to recognize symptoms, from fears of caregiver harm to severe school avoidance.

Attendees will learn to differentiate separation anxiety from OCD, understand the cycle of anxiety and avoidance, and explore gold-standard, evidence-based treatment strategies, specifically CBT with exposures, to help youth face fears and build long-term resilience.

This webinar is specifically designed for providers, mental health professionals, and school personnel seeking to expand their knowledge and tools in addressing separation anxiety.
