Preparing for Anxiety

While we can’t completely avoid anxiety-inducing events — because they’re sometimes uncontrollable — we can deal with anxiety head-on. This worksheet is a helpful tool where kids and teens are required to answer 4 questions that make them aware of their anxiety triggers, how they react, and what they can do to prepare for the situation.

After answering these questions, they’re going to identify 11 coping skills they can use to lower anxiety and gain a sense of control. Parents, teachers, social workers, and mental health professionals may use this in a classroom, home, or office setting.
