Teachers Attend Professional Development

Dr. Lisa Damour spoke to Tower Hill faculty on Friday, Jan. 15, about the psychological science key to understanding how stress and anxiety operate, both under everyday conditions and at times of heightened concern and disruption. She discussed how to keep pressure and tension from reaching toxic levels and how to support students during times of ongoing challenge, including the pandemic and civil unrest.

 

Recognized as a thought leader by the American Psychological Association for her work on stress and anxiety, Dr. Damour is a New York Times columnist and the author of the bestselling books “Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions into Adulthood” and “Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls.”
