This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and this year’s theme is ‘Managing anxiety’. Lots of things can make us feel anxious. For children & young people, it could be something at home, issues with friends, exams or leaving school. Not addressed, anxiety can become worse but there are ways to manage it. There are some guided mindfulness resources on The Free Mindfulness Project website you might want to try!
