A playback of the Anxiety First Aid Kit workshop run by Anxiety Coach Ashleigh Frater on Mental Health Awareness Day.

Resources and support can be hard to find for freelancers and founders, and barriers to getting help can make you feel helpless in the moment.

This workshop is designed for you to think about how you’re feeling more often and not just brush it aside or try to ignore feelings.

Mental health is directly linked to your performance and productivity — swallowing up your energy and mental capacity. We believe it’s even more important to be able to draw on tangible techniques and resources that you already have in place (but might not realise) to check in with yourself and take action with regard to your anxiety rather than trying to focus on more time management tactics and strategies.

Ashleigh explains what anxiety can be on a day-to-day basis versus severe anxiety at a disorder level and how it’s personal to you.

The workshop gives practical things that you can use afterwards, and you’ll take away your very own first aid kit for anxiety that you can continue to use to help yourself.
