Talking About Anxiety in Schools and Colleges
Anna Freud – National Centre for Children and Families
Through our work with education staff, we regularly hear that anxiety amongst young people is a key concern in education settings. Anxious feelings are a normal part of life, and a natural reaction to potentially stressful situations. However, it can be difficult for staff to know how to help young people when they are experiencing anxiety, and when the problem has become more severe and may require additional help. In this seminar, we will explore the difference between normal anxious feelings and anxiety disorders, and share practical advice on supporting pupils who are experiencing anxiety at school. We will be joined by expert panellists from clinical and education backgrounds (to be announced), who will be exploring the topic and closing the session with an interactive Q&A.
Learning outcomes
This seminar will:
1. provide practical tips for education professionals to use in school and college settings
2. provide some additional knowledge and understanding around the difference between normal anxious feelings and anxiety disorders, and when to seek professional help
3. provide helpful signposting to materials and resources
Who is this seminar suitable for?
This seminar is suitable for all school and college leaders and staff, particularly those with a responsibility for mental health. This seminar is also open to educational psychologists, and any allied professionals interested in supporting mental health in schools and colleges.
