Anxiety in young people can manifest as overwhelming worry, fear, and avoidance, often impacting their friendships, engagement in activities and school attendance and performance. It can hold them back from fully experiencing life’s opportunities. Psychological intervention can provide a powerful path forward. Through evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), young people can learn to challenge anxious thoughts, manage stress, and gain confidence in navigating challenges. Therapy empowers them to develop resilience, equipping them with lifelong tools for emotional growth. With the right support, young people can transform anxiety into a source of strength and step confidently into their future.
