Understand Anxiety from a Biopsychosocial Perspective

Anxiety is increasingly common and often misunderstood in classrooms. As educators, having a toolkit of strategies on hand to support learners with anxiety can help ensure your classroom is inclusive, welcoming and positive.

Our upcoming webinar, "Teaching Students with Anxiety", will delve into the nature of anxiety, equipping you with the skills to recognise and understand it in your classroom. We'll explore the unique challenges anxious students face and discuss strategies for building positive relationships with them.

No matter your level of expertise, this webinar is designed to provide you with a framework focusing on engagement, supportive learning environments, and supported pathways that can be embedded in your delivery.

Topics covered will include signs and symptoms of anxiety, understanding behaviours, classroom management strategies, and self-care tools. After attending, you'll leave with a richer understanding of anxiety from a biopsychosocial perspective, along with practical strategies and tools to better support your learners.

Don't miss this chance to upgrade your teaching practices and help students with anxiety thrive. Reserve your spot today!
