Participants in this webinar will learn about the nature of anxiety and its disorders and how to determine when the experience of anxiety warrants intervention. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychological treatment that is a first-line treatment for individuals with anxiety disorders.
