Stress and Anxiety in Youth and Families in Times of Emergency 2022

Emergencies are stressful for youth and adults of all ages. Safety may be threatened, and the routine and predictability of normal life can suddenly be disrupted. Although types of emergencies can vary widely, the stress and anxiety symptoms experienced are remarkably similar and predictable. This course identifies common physical and psychiatric symptoms that arise during times of crisis, discusses why these symptoms and behaviors occur, and provides specific interventions for families to “calm the storm” of stress and develop problem-solving approaches to manage changes and challenges that arise.

Learning Objectives

As a result of this educational activity, learners will be able to:

  1. Identify the physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms of acute and chronic stress and anxiety in times of emergency/crisis.
  2. Describe biological and neuropsychiatric mechanisms contributing to symptoms of stress and anxiety.
  3. Develop interventions to target stress and anxiety mechanisms to mitigate negative impact.
  4. Identify children and families at increased risk for negative effects of stress and anxiety during times of emergency.
