😟 Understanding Anxiety and Distressed Behaviour: A Workshop You Can Watch Anytime

Anxiety and distressed behaviour are often misunderstood—especially when experienced by neurodivergent individuals. What looks like "challenging behaviour" is often a sign of overwhelm, fear, or difficulty coping with the environment around them.

That’s why we’ve created a free, pre-recorded workshop: Understanding Anxiety and Distressed Behaviour, available now on our website for you to watch at a time that suits you.

💬 What You'll Learn in the Workshop

In this accessible, real-world session, we explore:

• What anxiety actually is, and how it affects behaviour

• How distressed behaviour may be a response to internal struggles, not “bad” behaviour

• Why traditional discipline strategies often fall short—and what works better

• Supportive, compassionate approaches for parents, carers, and professionals

  
  

This workshop is perfect for anyone supporting children or young people who experience anxiety or emotional dysregulation.

🌱 Why It Matters

When we understand the root of anxiety and distress, we’re better equipped to respond with empathy—not judgment. This workshop is designed to help you support the young people in your life with patience, insight, and practical strategies.

At NEST, we believe every behaviour is a form of communication—and we’re here to help you listen.
