Understanding the starting point
Anxiety can look different across ages and situations. Support may focus on understanding patterns, building coping skills, changing unhelpful cycles or deciding whether a broader assessment is useful.
What to consider
- How long the worry has been present
- Whether school, work, sleep or relationships are affected
- The person's age, language preferences and preferred format
Practical next steps
Write down the situations that feel hardest and the changes you hope support could make. This can help you compare professional roles and prepare for an initial conversation.
