"The book is a page turner..."

Working With Worry: A Workbook For Parents On How To Support Anxious Children

Anxiety is common concern of many BSF Scholars who are eager to achieve and attend schools with competitive environments. Samantha Sweeney, PhD. and Melissa Kilbride, LICSW have written a guide for parents responding to anxiety in their children.

In Working With Worry: A Workbook For Parents On How To Support Anxious Children, Ms. Kilbride and Dr. Sweeney provide a pathway workbook with diagnostic tools, interventions and activities designed to help parents recognize problems and respond proactively. Kilbride, a clinical social worker, and Sweeney a licensed psychologist, authored “Working With Worry” to help families successfully manage their children’s anxiety.

It has five chapters that guide parents through the process of diagnosis, treatment and aftercare. The over 60 activities provide implementable solutions to the anxieties that many children face. The book is a page turner with charts, graphs, images and an easy reader font. Responsive to the times, Kilbride and Sweeney have included “A Note on Covid”, “Working With Worry”, which is a must for any parents’ bookshelf; this chapter describes a roadmap for families seeking to raise children who learn how to deal with the anxieties of everyday living.

It is available on Amazon.

With our partners at the Self-Management Resource Center — a new booklet!

Aging Well with HIV

HIV is now considered a manageable chronic disease thanks to several treatment options. This means that many people who have HIV can live longer and fuller lives.

Our authors wrote this booklet to address some of the concerns that are specific to older people with HIV.

The needs that most people with HIV cite as important include:

- How HIV affects aging
- Living with two or more long-term conditions
- Loss of motivation
- Care coordination
- Planning for the future

Many of the problems of aging with HIV are the same problems as aging with one or more other long-term conditions.

This booklet is written to be used along with Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions. You will find many references to the book in this booklet. If you do not have the book, this booklet alone is still helpful because it provides information on topics of special consideration and concern to people with HIV.

Our author featured in the

Excerpt from: Summer break is ending. Here are 10 ways parents can help their kids get back into school mode

“Instead of having one big conversation, make the transition a little at a time in the final week or two of summer break, said Samantha Sweeney, a licensed psychologist in Washington, D.C. You might spend a few hours gathering school supplies; another day, you can plot out what to pack for lunches. Activities like these provide opportunities for kids to talk about how they’re feeling about the upcoming year.

“If you bring it up all at once, you get freaked out all at once,” she said. “Doing it gradually is usually easier for kids.”

It’s important to acknowledge their feelings and make them feel heard, experts say.

“If you say, ‘No no no, school is great and it’s going to be wonderful,’ they’ll say, ‘You don’t get it,’ or ‘You don’t understand,’” said Sweeney, co-author of “Working With Worry: A Workbook for Parents on How to Support Anxious Children.”

In the introduction to their book, Working with Worry: A Workbook for
Parents on How to Support Anxious Children, Melissa L. Kilbride,
LICSW, and Samantha C. Sweeney, PhD write:

"You may be wondering if all the information in this book is relevant given our changed reality. We assume this because we assumed the same thing. We gave this concern a lot of thought, and ultimately we feel
that no matter what is happening in the world, the relevance of the
information in this book hasn't really changed. The topics are just as important, if not more so, now."

The authors wrote this about the pandemic, but their words apply to the turmoil in the world now.
