European Mental Health Week will be held on 22-28 May 2023. Mental health is
universal and essential for thriving societies and the theme this year is
Mentally Healthy Communities. To mark this event, The Counselling, Wellbeing
& Emotional Support Team are delivering an information talk on the topic of
Anxiety.
Global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by a massive 25%,
according to a scientific brief released by the World Health Organization
(WHO). The World Economic forum cited anxiety as the leading mental health
concern globally at 4% of the total population.
Anxiety is the most prevalent presenting issue for those who present to our
counselling service. However, the management of anxiety issues often begins
with developing a better understanding of the mechanics of how it can impact
our lives and the ways in which we can take steps to reduce it.
Overview
* An overview of the prevalence of anxiety.
* Anxiety and sight loss/visual impairment.
* Explaining how anxiety works - the "why and the how".
* How to reduce anxiety - techniques and strategies, reducing the
risks.
* Signposting to available supports.
Note: This is an information talk to review and discuss the topic and allow
for better education on Anxiety and its impact- not a counselling or
psychological intervention. For those who require additional support,
advice will be presented on how to access this.
