As a congregation, we are concerned with the current trend of increased anxiety in children. In partnership with author and counsellor Kerry Moss of Hopefield, a community service agency of Gymea Baptist Church, we offered workshops on Understanding and Managing Anxiety in Children in 2019 and 2020, in a location that was easy to access for local parents.
We teamed up with the educators at the OOSH which is part of our church property (operated by Uniting) to provide top-quality child-care to the parents as needed. The March 2020 face-to-face workshop was cancelled at the last minute due to the Covid-19 restrictions, a series of on-line, zoom style workshops were conducted over the following months, and finished off with an in-person event at the church shortly before Christmas 2020.
We planned to offer another round of workshops in the second half of 2021, but are now planning for 2021.
