About the talk

Panic attacks are common — especially in late teens and early adulthood.  Whilst terrifying for the person experiencing one, it can be equally scary for everyone around them.

This powerful, myth-busting talk is designed for sixth form students, university students and the staff who support them.

  • What a panic attack actually is (and isn’t)
  • Why they happen
  • The science behind acute anxiety
  • The most common misconceptions around panic attacks

And the  participants leave with practical, usable tools that reduces the impact of panic attacks for all.

  • A practical series of techniques to de-escalate a panic attack
  • A confidence in how to support someone having a panic attack
