Charlotte, NC, November 18, 2016 /PressReleasePing/ - Middle Schools and High Schools are training their staff to manage the “Anxiety Epidemic” in schools. In many communities, the increase in anxiety has risen at an alarming rate. One Connecticut principal stated that the rate of ‘severe anxiety’ in his middle school increased by 34% in 2 years.

‘We’ve been getting calls to talk to and support school communities at a record rate. We’re happy to be part of a solution! The credit really goes to the amazing team of psychologists, physicians, professors and experts who make up the Generating Winners’ team and are focused on helping our community.’ said Colleen Ferrary, co-founder of GeneratingWinners.com

What was once the cause of bad test scores is now crippling schools as children show more signs of more severe anxiety disorders ( i.e. stress-induced IBS, anxiety attacks, eating disorders, suicide, etc…) In a recent University of Minnesota study of 4,300 teens, the follow results were found:

39% suffered from mild to severe depression

9% suffered from severe depression

6% reported suicide attempts

Recently, a formal study by The University of Chicago’s Human Performance Lab showed that eliminating stress through a simple 10-minute meditation training not only reduces anxiety but also raised test scores from an average 82 to an 87. This difference in performance occurred despite the fact that all students were of equal ability.

Sian Beilock, Ph.D., is a psychology professor and an expert on the brain science behind performance failure under pressure. She identified how anxiety can affect a person’s ability to move through different phases of life effortlessly – or not.

Anxiety is not only affecting our teen’s grades, but it affects sports performance, physical well-being, happiness, and those lifelong skills that help children maneuver through adulthood successfully.
