CATCH was thrilled to welcome over 300 people to our conversation about The Anxious Generation by Jonathon Haidt!  Our community gathered to openly discuss the importance of free-range childhoods and the dangers of overparenting.  We talked about the effects of cell phone and social media use on our children and began to think about what we can DO to reverse the mental health crisis. It was an amazing, empowering evening!  

CATCH invites everyone to part two - a collaborative hands-on workshop where we will create a practical how-to guide that will empower us all to combat our kids' anxiety.
