It is estimated that one in five youth will suffer from some type of mental health disorder by age 18. Anxiety is one of the most common mental health disorders, affecting 31.9% of youth, and is often associated with other mental health concerns like depression and suicide (Merikangas, 2010). There are modular youth treatments that build youth skills to address these concerns. This training will provide resources to mental health and school professionals on identifying anxiety in youth and understanding different symptoms as they relate to typical developmental trajectory. The training will also provide strategies to address worry in youth, especially youth of color, with free resources to help in the identification and treatment of anxiety disorders. An important emphasis will focus on culturally adaptive anxiety and how to best meet youth needs. TRAINING OBJECTIVES 1. Identify signs of anxiety in students 2. Understand developmentally appropriate anxiety, stress, and worry symptoms 3. Provide practical tips to assessing and addressing anxiety 4. Distinguish clinical anxiety from worry in youth 5. Address developmental and cultural adaptations to anxiety treatment
