This class will cover the types of anxiety and the ways each person experiences feelings differently.
We will learn coping mechanisms, practice useful communication skills, and students will have the chance to vent and dump whatever is on their mind. Examining the underlying beliefs that fuel the anxiety can be extremely helpful so that we can reconfigure the beliefs and manage the anxiety. 
We will also learn and practice communication skills to make interactions with friends and family easier and healthier. 

This is a safe space, judgement-free zone. Class is tailored and personalized to meet students at any age level or comfort level.
