Cards against anxiety

‘Anxiety - and how to deal with it´ is a set of picture cards created to teach children and teenagers how to work with their anxieties. This tool was created with the help of the psychologists of the Bohnice psychiatric hospital’s children department. These cards are focused on anxiety as the main topic. Anxiety is an unpleasant emotional state of mind experienced not only by adults but also by children and teenagers. However, in many cases it is too demanding (hard) for children to talk about it, to detect the triggers and the symptoms and to find the way to overcome it.
