Managing Anxiety - Team & Staff Training

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges faced in today’s workplaces. The Anxiety and Depression Association of America estimates that around 18% of adults experience anxiety disorders annually, and the UK’s Mental Health Foundation reports that work-related stress, anxiety, and depression account for 51% of all work-related ill health cases. This training programme is designed to help teams understand anxiety, develop practical coping strategies, and build resilience to maintain wellbeing and productivity.

This course is ideal for employees, managers, HR staff, and volunteers who want to foster a supportive workplace culture and manage anxiety effectively. It covers foundational knowledge about anxiety, explores common mental blocks, and teaches actionable skills for overcoming fear and stress.

Why Your Team Needs This Training

Workplace anxiety can lead to reduced concentration, lower morale, absenteeism, and increased staff turnover. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), stress-related absence leads to millions of lost working days annually in the UK, costing employers billions.

Equipping your team with tools to manage anxiety not only benefits individual mental health but also strengthens overall organisational resilience and performance. Early recognition and proactive management can reduce the negative impact of anxiety and encourage a healthier work environment.
