 1. Anxiety & Obsessions- with Mark Brown( no limit to spaces). January 25th 7PM

This aim of this webinar is not to get rid of obsession, but to provide insight into their reasons and how to gain some sort of balance. In so doing Mark will explore some of the issues relating to having additional needs and anxiety, including the display of obsessive behaviour, how it can impact upon everyone involved and how to develop support and interventions as a way to reduce the consequences of being anxious. So come along to this practical and down to earth webinar and learn how to reduce the firework explosion.
