About our anxiety forums

Anxiety is something we can all feel, at times. However, some people face significant impact in their lives because of anxiety.

Our Let’s Talk Anxiety forums raise awareness of anxiety disorders, destigmatise the conversation about anxiety and encourage people to seek help.

The forums are an opportunity for people to come together in their community, learn more about anxiety and connect with their local Mental Health services.

Guides for parents & teachers

What’s in an anxiety forum?

  • Our forums typically run for approximately 3 hours.
  • A clinical psychologist talks about types of anxiety disorders, signs, symptoms, interventions and strategies.
  • Lived experience is a key element of our forums so we include an address from a person living with anxiety and a person caring for someone with anxiety.
  • Local mental health services outline how their programs and services assist community members.
  • There’s ample opportunity to ask questions of our speakers as well as discuss issues, challenges and experiences in small groups.
  • A refreshment break is included- people can move around the room and talk with the Mental Health service representatives present
  • WayAhead provides a brief overview of our programs, Mental Health Information Line, Anxiety Support Groups and Small Steps seminars.
