This workshop will focus on providing useful information and skills for recognising anxiety problems in young
children and practical strategies for assisting anxious children in the classroom. There will also be a specific
focus on the importance of working with parents in managing childhood anxiety problems. This workshop also
seeks to introduce attendees to key advances in neuroscience research on anxiety in children and how this can
be translated into practical strategies to apply in the classroom. It will be presented by Dr Allison Waters who is a
Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at Griffith University and the Director of the Griffith “Take Action Program”
– a cognitive-behavioural treatment program for children with anxiety disorders through which over 250
children have received treatment.
Dr Waters is a registered clinical psychologist who is committed to evidence-based practice and has published over
46 book chapters and journal articles on childhood anxiety disorders. Her research has focused upon the treatment
of anxiety problems in very young children, examining the effectiveness of interventions delivered in schools and on
translating neuroscience research into clinical practice. Dr Waters has over 10 years of clinical experience working in
Australia and the USA and her research is funded by the Australian Research Council, Australian Rotary Health
Research Fund and Queensland Health. In 2008, she received the Early Career Researcher Award from the Australian
Psychological Society for her work on childhood anxiety disorders.

FAQs for ECTA Videolinq (Videoconference) Workshops
What is a videolinq? Do I need to have a computer or special
equipment to attend?
A Videolinq is similar to a teleconference, except participants can
see the presenters and other participants at other sites. You don’t
need to bring along any IT equipment, all the equipment is in
regular use at the TAFE sites. You simply turn up and enjoy the
workshop.
Why isn’t there a workshop at a venue near me?
Due to increased demands on the TAFE Videolinq network, ECTA
has had to decrease the number of sites from 20 to 12. Every care
is taken to consider that there is a site as close to possible to ECTA
regional groups and regional members for each Videolinq
workshop. Sites are chosen on the basis of numbers in attendance
for previous workshops and are dependent on the availability of
the site for the date required. Each workshop is recorded, and a
DVD of the workshop is distributed to ECTA members. However we are
trialling another option to view the workshop from your personal
computer via videostreaming after the event. To access the videostream
go to the ECTA website – www.ecta.org.au the day after where you will
find the link.
Handouts/notes, if available, are provided on the day and later
posted to the ECTA web-site for general access via the Videolinq
Programs section.
How can I get the DVD of the workshop?
Only ECTA members are eligible to receive a copy of the DVD
from each Videolinq workshop. These DVD’s are distributed to ECTA
members with the EYC Journal. If you want a DVD and are not a
member, you are welcome to become one and receive both the DVD
and journal.
How can I get in touch with the workshop presenter/s?
Once a workshop has been presented, the contact details of those
presenters who provide their contact details for distribution will be
posted to the Videolinq section of the ECTA website
www.ecta.org.au
