Are you overwhelmed by the growing number of students struggling with anxiety?

You’re not alone. Anxiety rates are skyrocketing, impacting student well-being, academic performance, and their overall school experience. As an educator, you are at the forefront of supporting students through these challenges, but understanding the complex factors driving this phenomenon is crucial for effective intervention.

In this workbook you’ll discover knowledge and tools to:

  • Demystify anxiety: Delve into the various types of anxiety disorders prevalent in schools, exploring their symptoms, causes, and impact on individuals and the school environment.
  • Navigate the “why”: Uncover the potent mix of societal pressures, academic demands, social media influence, and other factors fueling the rise of anxiety in teenagers.

  • Empower students with coping skills: Discover a range of practical strategies and evidence-based interventions to provide students with the tools to manage anxiety, build resilience, and thrive both academically and socially.

 

15-Minute Focus: Anxiety Workbook goes beyond just describing the problem; it provides a roadmap for creating solutions. Filled with real-world examples, practical resources, and interactive exercises, you will learn to:

  • Develop age-appropriate interventions: Tailored strategies for elementary, middle, and high school students address their unique developmental needs.
  • Promote mental health awareness: Foster a school culture that encourages open communication and destigmatizes seeking help.
  • Advocate for systemic change: Equip yourself with the knowledge to advocate for policies and practices that prioritize student mental health within the school system.
  • Collaborate for success: Understand your role in building a support network that involves parents, teachers, administrators, and mental health professionals, fostering positive school climates that prioritize student well-being.
