Most people would admit to having felt some level of anxiety, but what is anxiety? Where does it come from? Anxiety is a healthy and normal emotion, and it is important to understand the role of anxiety in our lives.
In this workshop, led by mental health counselors from the CHILL Counseling Program, you will learn how to recognize the signs and symptoms of anxiety, and how this can impact our ability to function in school, work and in relationships.
