Understanding Anxiety: Schools and Anxiety

One of the most anxiety-inducing things to contemplate is school safety. Schools are now rehearsing lockdowns and safety drills for a variety of different we-hope-it-never-happens scenarios. While some argue these practices are catalysts for fear and anxiety, others argue they are necessary to equip students, teachers, and schools with plans for how to respond to a crisis. In Part III of our 3-part series on anxiety, you will learn how issues of school safety can create anxiety for all, including those in charge of keeping students safe at school.
