Anxiety in Today's World: Considerations Across the Lifespan  

Thursday, March 12, 2026
2:30 -  4:00 p.m.

Zoom Webinar

Registration Fee: $25

OVERVIEW: Across the nation we have seen rates of pediatric and adult anxiety rise over the last 5-10 years. Due to many factors, including barriers to access, shortages of available providers, and mental health stigma, the majority of these youth and adults will not receive necessary mental health interventions or support. In this webinar, we will review symptomology and clinical presentations of anxiety across developmental periods, identify therapeutic strategies and techniques to address concerns, and discuss how the current context of the nation and world require mental health providers to reconsider traditional approaches to anxiety.

OBJECTIVES: After attending this Zoom webinar, the participant will be able to:

• Define symptoms of anxiety across developmental periods and appropriate assessment/symptom tracking tools, 
• Identify therapeutic techniques for managing anxiety, including strategies for non-traditional presentations (e.g., current event-related anxiety/stress), 
• Explore management of anxiety within current state of the nation and world.
