Please join us for a Community Education Event at the Kitchener Public Library Central branch on Tuesday November 26, 2024 at 7:00pm.
Clinical psychology graduate students Van Bui, Sophie Kudryk, and Alexa Nordine will present a workshop for the general public titled:
Is this Common? Differentiating Shyness from Social Anxiety
Social anxiety reflects a common mental health concern associated with intense anxiety and a fear of judgement from others that is experienced before, during, and after social events. Clinical psychology graduate students from the University of Waterloo will discuss how social anxiety may present and how to differentiate it from shyness and normative social concerns. This program will provide listeners with an understanding of social anxiety and its impact on individuals. Tips and strategies for feeling comfortable in social situations will also be shared.
There is no cost for the workshop; however, participants are asked to register on the Kitchener Public Library Website.
