Course contents
This training course is broken down into 2 sections
- 1 Introduction to Anxiety
- 2 Ideas & Techniques
SECTION 1
Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, and the symptoms range from mild to severe and is also an umbrella term that covers a number of diagnosable conditions. This section will provide an introduction to anxiety and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
SECTION 2
Anxiety looks and feels different for different people, which means the solutions for reducing anxiety will also differ for each person. So in this section, we offer a variety of ideas and tools - some are based on mindfulness, and others are based on CBT techniques.
About this course
In 2018/19, there were at least 602,000 workers who suffered from work-related stress, depression, or anxiety.
This Managing Anxiety Training course provides ideas and techniques to help people to manage their anxiety, this includes belly breathing techniques, strengthening your resilience and ABC forms that help people to highlight how they felt and behaved during an anxiety-provoking event.
CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, can play a key part in helping people better manage anxious thoughts. Recognised by the NHS, here is how they describe the process:
"Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. It's most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems." - NHS
When users complete our IOSH Approved course, we hope that they feel more confident in addressing uncomfortable or upsetting situations, so they can lessen the impact they have on them.

Does what it says on the tin
Some good tips in this training and having the time out to think about management techniques
Very useful and practical
Enjoyed the course - a good balance between giving enough information and opportunity to read further and expand knowledge if wanted, but not too much that it was overwhelming or too up too much time!

It would be helpful if all the supporting documentation mentioned throughout the training was available without having to resit the course. I could only find two documents - the ABC form and one on phobias.
Why is this training important?
Business benefits

The course aims to provide the user with the right techniques and tools to manage anxious thoughts safely and effectively.
