It just doesn’t seem to make sense. Could your gifted child, the child to whom school comes so easily, be exhibiting signs of anxiety, stress or depression? What does he or she have to be anxious about? Let’s share ideas! Many of the traits that are common in gifted individuals can lead to psychosocial challenges for high-ability and talented children. Come explore what we can do to mitigate the risk of anxiety and depression in our bright children.

A special thank you to the A.N. Pritzker School for allowing us to use their library for this discussion series. 

The school is at the SW corner of Damen and Schiller, just a block and a half south of the Damen Blue Line stop. Street parking is available in the neighborhood and in the lot behind the school on Evergreen, one block south of the school. (Evergreen is one way East.)  Enter the school on the Schiller side via the main doors.  Push the "door bell" to be buzzed in or call the number posted above the door and someone will let you in.  The library is on the 2nd floor of the school, accessed by stairs.  There is no elevator.
