Belfast Recovery College - Living with Anxiety

Most of us experience anxiety at some point in our lives. For many this is upsetting

but manageable and related to real life situations or experiences and usually passes

with time or as the situation resolves. For some people anxiety is constant, extreme

and debilitating and it impacts significantly on quality of life. This course will explore

what anxiety is, the many forms it can take, and how it develops and is maintained.

We also hope to explore a range of treatment options and self-help skills that may

help people to lessen and manage anxiety. A practitioner with expertise in the subject

area and a peer educator with lived experience of anxiety will bring their combined

knowledge to students and will provide practical help in a supportive atmosphere.

(Duration of course: 3 hrs)
