Conference on anxiety in everyday school life.

A conference on anxiety in everyday school life, addressing distress in children and young people that often stays hidden and is misread. It highlights quiet signs such as withdrawal or declining performance and presents approaches to diagnosis, prevention and intervention – from school absenteeism and exam anxiety to bullying. It is led by Prof. Pierre-Carl Link and Dr. Xenia Müller at the Interkantonale Hochschule für Heilpädagogik, on site and online. The aim is to give professionals confidence in dealing with anxiety and to build safe places for learning.
