Teenage Anxiety - Understanding the Impact and Building Strategies to Thrive
2018-02-09 09:30 - 12:30 (Europe/London) | War Memorial, Capel, New Dover Road, Capel le Ferne, Folkestone, Kent, CT18 7JJ, United Kingdom
Up to 1 in 3 teenagers struggle with chronic anxiety – overwhelming feelings of worry, fear and panic that can make daily life immensely difficult to navigate.
Without support, living with persistent anxiety can result in complex and unhelpful patterns of behaviour developing and often results in a negative cycle of isolation feeding the anxiety. Positively, there are lots of effective techniques that can help teenagers reduce feelings of anxiety and learn how to keep them from taking over.
This workshop explores the wide ranging factors that can impact on anxiety levels and helps participants to develop understanding of the impact this can have on teenagers.
Participants will leave with a ‘toolbox’ of resources that teenagers can use on their own or with a support person to help them deal with the day to day challenges of anxiety and break free of negative cycles.
Parking is free at this venue with a parking permit. This will be forward to you prior to the event or alternatively available on the day.
Tickets are £25 per person.

‘Anxiety is a thin stream of fears trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.’
Arthur Somers Roche
The daily pressures on our children are increasing from targets and testing in the classroom to the rise of pressure advertising and social media. For many of our children the world, or certain aspects of it, is overwhelming, complex and scary. From separation and social anxiety to performance and health anxiety, an increasing number of children now benefit from direct support to manage their worries.
This workshop will introduce you to the current thinking around children’s anxiety and move onto exploring ways to support young people to manage their anxiety more effectively. We will introduce you to visual resources and a toolbox of practical strategies that can be used within home and school.
Niki Green supports children between 4 and 11 years, both in school and privately and will share strategies and resources to support your young people.
Tickets £20 per person. Refreshments included.
FEEDBACK
‘Fantastic course – can definitely recommend and I will certainly attend more workshops on offer. Thank you for delivering a well rounded session and thank you to everyone else present. I came away feeling more informed, confident and reassured. This is probably the first time that I felt that others ‘got it’, that I wasn’t alone and it has reassured me that I am heading in the right direction with the various strategies etc. Once again, thank you for the professional delivery of the course and opportunity’
