Judy Hunter is a Child Mental Health and Well-Being Specialist and consultant based right here in Hawke’s Bay at Kohuri Education Co.

Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness or unease about something with an uncertain outcome. It is a big feeling for a little person to manage. In her training workshop on anxiety, Judy offers useful tools and advice on how parents/caregivers can recognise and help with some of those big feelings.
