Managing Anxiety with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy: What is it and how can it help?

Anxiety is a universal emotion that we all experience but, for 1 in 4 people, anxiety can be significantly debilitating.

Join Dr. Randi McCabe as she helps participants in this webinar learn about the nature of anxiety and its disorders and how to determine when the experience of anxiety warrants intervention.
