Nurturing Healthy Minds - Anxiety - Workshop 2
A deep dive into anxiety and stress responses. Learn more strategies to help students suffering from anxiety, including tamariki with autism.
Description
Anxiety is a normal emotion, and all tamariki experience it, however it can impact learning and the ability to participate in school life. Teachers and learning support staff can play an important role in helping learners with anxiety by making them feel safe and supported.
In these online workshops, learn the signs and symptoms of anxiety, how it may present in tamariki with autism, calming strategies, types of treatment and where to go for help.

Workshops are held on weekdays from 3.30-5pm.
Workshop 1 is for teachers and learning support staff who want to know more about anxiety and what we can do to support our tamariki and rangatahi.
Workshop 2 builds on Workshop 1, providing a deep dive into anxiety and the stress response, and further support strategies to add to your kete.
