Building Student Agency: Strategies for Managing Anxiety and Mental Health

Anxiety is on the rise, and screen time is often part of the challenge. But the solution isn’t just less screen time. Instead, helping students develop agency can reduce anxiety, support mental health, and give them more control over their well-being.

Join us for a practical, research-backed webinar where we’ll break down:

  1. The link between anxiety, self-regulation, and student agency—and why it matters

  2. Seven key strategies to help students promote student agency and build resilience

  3. How to set healthy screen time guardrails that support mental well-being

This session is designed for student support teams looking for actionable ways to help students build agency, reduce anxiety, and develop confidence in managing their own mental health.
