The Pattonville Community Action Team (PCAT) kicks off its second annual “Healing the Cove” series on Sept. 27 when Dr. Mary Ann Lingg provides insight and practical tips on how to help your child with anxiety.

Healing the Cove is an online series where Pattonville families can connect with health and community experts on a number of relevant topics. During each session, speakers share information and resources on a variety of topics related to mental health and well-being. Last year, topics included suicide prevention, self-care, de-escalating child behaviors, positive communication and many others. The sessions are free, but require pre-registration. For more information or to register, go online at bit.ly/healingthecove21-22.

PCAT is a community problem-solving group composed of Pattonville staff and community organizations, including state and local governments, religious organizations, local charities and more. The team meets regularly with the goal of providing a system of community support for Pattonville families and students. The group looks at issues facing students and families and collaborates to develop or connect them to needed services.
