The state of youth mental health in Australia is worrying with 1 in 7 children aged between 4 and 17 diagnosed with a mental illness. Of those children, half are diagnosed with anxiety which is approaching epidemic proportions among both primary and secondary school students. Fortunately, teachers are wellplaced to support anxious students and to develop within them the skills and strategies to manage their anxiety, move it from centre stage and live life in full colour.
This webinar will help teachers to recognise and understand anxiety, how it impacts on learning and happiness and the practical steps to lessen its impact on a child’s life.
