Free Seminar on Youth Mental Health 17 July 2019
FREE Seminar on Youth Mental Health 17 July 2019
 
The Rotary Club of North Ryde in partnership with the Centre for Emotional Health is pleased to present a FREE community information evening for parents, carers and teenagers on dealing with academic procrastination in youth. 
 
The seminar will be held at the Hearing Hub, Level 2 Lecture Theatre at Macquarie University.
 
Join us on Monday 17 July from 6:00 pm to 7p.m. to hear about Dealing with academic procrastination in youth presented by Dr Carolyn Schniering.
 
Stress around academic performance is very common during adolescence as pressures at school escalate. Increased stress has been shown to be related to worry and procrastination around school work, and reduced self-esteem around work. This free seminar covers evidence based strategies for overcoming procrastination in youth.
