Some people experience anxiety at situations in their life, while others experience anxiety on a regular basis. Students often experience anxiety as they study for exams, prepare to give a speech in front of their class, or multi-task with work and other responsibilities outside of school. This workshop discusses the nature of anxiety and the impact it has on the mind and body. It will also include a discussion of ways to better manage anxiety. Toward the end of the workshop, the facilitators will lead the group in a breathing and relaxation exercise.
