Anxiety Skills & Strategies Program $

This three-session skills program meets online for an hour on three consecutive Monday evenings starting Monday, March 2, 2026 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Learn techniques and tips to decrease the uncomfortable sensations of anxiety.

This program shares research-based tips and strategies, emphasizing skill acquisition.

A variety of long and short self-calming techniques are introduced, along with cognitive and lifestyle behaviours that help prevent escalation of anxiety.

These techniques are especially helpful in the self-regulation of uncomfortable sensations like:

• muscle tension and tightness in the chest and shoulders
• feeling like it’s hard to breathe, or not getting enough air
• palpitations and skipped beats of the heart
• racing mind and anxious thoughts
• feeling panicky
