Please note: parents, carers and other professionals can get advice and support on our Anxiety page. There's also a virtual workshop on Understanding Anxiety (Workshop 1).
The anxiety resource is for education staff, and offers teaching tools and strategies for understanding and managing anxiety. The resource has been split into primary and secondary age versions. Each version has five PowerPoints for presenting to children and young people, which cover the key aspects of understanding, explaining and managing anxiety. There are also interactive and practical learning activities within each version.
The resource format has been designed for you to use flexibly - as a whole school or classroom, in small targeted groups or with individuals on a 1:1 basis.
This professionals' guide outlines the foundation knowledge that you need to deliver the material:
