You're Not Alone
We understand that being a teenager can be tough, and anxiety can often make things even more challenging. But don’t worry, you’re not alone. Our Teen Anxiety Support Academy is here to support you every step of the way. Through evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, we provide you with the tools and resources to understand anxiety, build resilience, and improve your overall well-being.
Do you find yourself constantly worrying about school/college, relationships, or the future? Are negative thoughts and self-doubt taking over your mind? Do you struggle with high-functioning anxiety, where you appear fine on the outside, but feel overwhelmed on the inside? We understand and want to help you overcome them. Our academy is designed specifically to address these challenges and empower you to take control of your anxiety.
When it comes to anxiety in teens, everyone is different. Here are some signs you might notice:
- Excessive worry or fear: If you find yourself constantly worrying or feeling afraid about everyday situations, it could be a sign of anxiety.
- Physical symptoms: Anxiety can show up in your body, causing things like a racing heart, shortness of breath, sweating, trembling, headaches, stomachaches, or other unexplained physical discomfort.
- Avoidance behaviours: Do you find yourself avoiding certain situations or places that make you anxious? It could be social events, school, or even public speaking.
- Changes in sleep patterns: Anxiety can mess with your sleep. If you're having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restless nights, it might be linked to anxiety.
- Irritability or agitation: Feeling more irritable, restless, or having trouble concentrating? Anxiety can make you easily agitated or cause sudden mood swings.
- Excessive self-consciousness: Are you overly worried about what others think of you? Feeling self-conscious to the point of avoiding social interactions or being too hard on yourself might be a sign of anxiety.
- Perfectionism and seeking reassurance: Anxiety can drive you to seek constant reassurance from others and set impossibly high standards for yourself, always fearing failure.
- Changes in appetite: Anxiety can mess with your appetite. You might experience sudden shifts like loss of appetite or overeating.
- Academic or performance decline: Anxiety-related difficulties, such as trouble concentrating, memory issues, or excessive worry about grades, can lead to a decline in your academic or performance-related activities.
- Social withdrawal: Feeling uncomfortable or anxious in social situations, you might find yourself withdrawing or isolating from others.
It’s important to remember that having one or more of these signs doesn’t necessarily mean you have an anxiety disorder. However, if these signs continue and start affecting your daily life, it’s worth considering seeking support from a mental health professional or equipping yourself with skills to manage and support your well-being as symptoms can worsen over time. The Teen Anxiety Support Academy is an educational and supportive tool that can provide self-help resources and guidance to assist you.

In this module, we delve into the foundations of CBT. We’ll help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are interconnected, creating a cycle of anxiety.

What is Anxiety?
Unlocking the path to overcoming anxiety begins with understanding it. In this module, we delve into the science behind anxiety and its profound influence on your mind and body. By unraveling the mysteries surrounding anxiety, you’ll develop a deeper comprehension of its triggers and gain access to powerful strategies for effectively managing and conquering it.
Safety Behaviours
Safety behaviours are specific actions or strategies that individuals engage in to manage or cope with anxiety or fear in potentially threatening situations. These behaviours are typically employed to reduce the perceived risk or discomfort associated with a particular situation or trigger. While safety behaviours may provide temporary relief, they can actually maintain or exacerbate anxiety in the long run. Safety behaviours are commonly observed in anxiety disorders.
Are you engaging in safety behaviours that temporarily relieve anxiety but ultimately reinforce it? We’ll guide you through identifying and removing these safety behaviours, helping you break free from their hold and regain control over your anxiety.
High Functioning Anxiety
High-functioning anxiety refers to a form of anxiety where individuals experience significant anxiety symptoms while still maintaining a high level of functionality in their daily lives. People with high-functioning anxiety often appear successful, competent, and capable on the surface, but internally they may constantly worry, feel overwhelmed, and experience intense anxiety
High-functioning anxiety can be challenging because it often goes unnoticed by others. In this module, we’ll address the unique struggles associated with high-functioning anxiety and provide targeted strategies to manage it effectively.
Negative Thoughts
Negative thoughts can be powerful triggers for anxiety. We’ll teach you practical techniques to challenge and reframe these negative thoughts, allowing you to develop a more positive and realistic perspective.
Strategies for Relaxation and Remaining Calm
Learning to relax and remain calm in the face of anxiety is a crucial skill. We’ll introduce you to a variety of evidence-based relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation. These strategies will help you find calmness in moments of stress and anxiety.
Worry
Excessive worrying can consume your thoughts and hinder your ability to enjoy life. In this module, we’ll provide you with strategies to manage worry effectively. You’ll learn how to identify and challenge unhelpful worries, develop problem-solving skills, and create a worry-free zone in your mind.
Understanding Self-Compassion
Self-compassion is vital for your mental well-being. We’ll guide you in cultivating self-compassion, teaching you to treat yourself with kindness, understanding, and acceptance. By fostering self-compassion, you’ll build resilience and develop a healthier relationship with yourself.
Removing Safety behaviours Related to Anxiety
In this module, we’ll help you identify and eliminate safety behaviours that reinforce anxiety. By gradually stepping out of your comfort zone and facing feared situations, you’ll build confidence and reduce anxiety in the long run.
