Course Overview
Are you concerned about the rising number of students struggling with anxiety in your school? Are you worried about your teachers' capacity to provide the support these students need? We understand that schools have limited access to psychology services, and it can be difficult for teachers to implement individual interventions or programs for each student. The workshop will equip your staff with practical strategies and insights on anxiety from a psychological perspective, which will help them to better understand their students and provide them with the support they need.
