Anxiety represents our body’s natural alarm system, signaling the possibility of danger. When this response arises too frequently or intensely and doesn’t match actual situations of danger, it can interfere with life and cause great distress. While everyone experiences anxiety, it is estimated that over a quarter of the population will experience anxiety at levels that cause distress in their lives.

Anxiety - Practical Intervention Strategies, is a Crisis and Trauma Resource Institute workshop that explores when anxiety is adaptive and in order, compared to when it becomes disordered. Workshop participants will learn practical and accessible strategies which can be applied to all ages, and help address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social aspects of anxiety.

This is an introductory to intermediate level workshop intended for social service and health care professionals, counsellors, social workers, school personnel, and anyone working with those who struggle with anxiety.

This 6-hour workshop is livestreamed via Zoom.

Registration deadline for the September 20, 2021 session is September 16, 2021.
