Helping Young People Overcome Anxiety ( 4 - 18 years ) 19th November

I know you care

You work with young people because you wanted to make a difference but right now it feels like you’re being stretched outside of your comfort zone 

You know the basics about anxiety and anxiety disorders but it doesn’t feel like this is enough 

 Almost every young person you are supporting is feeling anxious right now

You’re seeing anxiety presenting itself through panic attacks, school avoidance and emotional overwhelm

The tools you do have, work occasionally but you get the sense that there are more effective strategies that you could be using especially in the classroom where you are trying to balance different needs

You feel like more of your students need additional support but many don’t meet the threshold

I get it

I have been there, researching for hundreds of hours trying to develop a toolkit that really works.

All of the strategies in this workshop are evidence based using the latest science and neuroscience and have worked for thousands of people.
