SunWest Church is hosting undergraduate nursing students from the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Calgary to provide an educational seminar on anxiety.

Anxiety and other mental health conditions are an increasing issue in our world. The World Health Organization has estimated that the global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased 25% during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of Canadians who said they are experiencing  generalized anxiety symptoms more than tripled from 4.8% in 2016 to 15% in March 2021. Chances are that someone you know has been affected, and it can often be difficult to know what to do.

Everyone is welcome to this FREE community event, to learn a little more about mental health, what anxiety is, and how to begin dealing with it. Come ready to learn something and to be outfitted with a few resources to help along the way.
