Angst: Building Resilience Program


Angst: Building Resilience is a program for middle and high schools in California to destigmatize anxiety and provide support for students experiencing a mental health challenge.

An at-home preview of the documentary and discussion guide (in English and Spanish) allows families to be involved in the strategies to develop long-term resilience and emotional well-being.
