Children and teens in vulnerable situations experience numerous sources of toxic stress. This daily exposure to stress is associated with a number of problems, in particular anxiety disorders. Such disorders can affect the child’s well-being as well as their capacity to function in different areas of their lives and cope with setbacks. For professionals in CSP, it is essential to distinguish between signs of anxiety disorder and signs of other disorders, and then implement the most appropriate action plan.
