From 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4, Joe Clem will present strategies to build confidence, resilience, and flexibility during challenging times in his virtual presentation Stronger on the Inside. The presentation will be available on the Orchard Park Central School District website www.opschools.org. Anxiety can be defined as the Perceived inability to manage a task in front of you. None of us has a playbook for these times, so stress is unavoidable. Honestly, we often rely on really old, mostly unconscious, information to manage stressors. The Emotional and Behavioral Sciences have provided us evidence-based tools to help us use these times to shift our perceptions so we can actually get better through our challenges. This workshop will introduce clear, evidence based, strategies to increase compliance and success and reduce defiance, anxiety and misery in your home for all ages. You will leave with techniques to implement! Joe Clem is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over 15-yrs of practical experience. This combination provides a unique window into the emotions that drive negative cycles in our homes and clear behavioral strategies to help us move through them, back to a home we can love.
