supporting students to cope with anxiety
These resources can help your students to understand why they're feeling anxious, and how to differentiate between stress, worry and anxiety.
Students will learn about the different physical and emotional signs of anxiety, and the science behind what happens in their brain when they're stressed out. Plus we share our top tips and strategies for coping with anxiety.
These free resources were created by Kids Helpline Counsellors for schools, parents, caregivers and communities.
