Anxiety Intervention Pack

This intervention pack has been developed by the CAMHS Primary Mental Health Team for use in by school staff and healthy family team practitioners.
It has been designed to guide support sessions for children and young people who may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety. It includes a selection of worksheets and a range of interventions.

Activities should always be tailored to meet the individual’s needs.

This is intended as a guide only and we would suggest regular review of symptoms and discussing any concerns you may have with your colleagues and the Primary Mental Health Team where necessary
