This training is Part 1 of the Facing Your Fears in Schools (FYF-S) training series—an evidence-based intervention designed to help school-based providers and educators identify, understand, and support students with anxiety. In Part 1, you’ll learn how to recognize the signs of anxiety (even in students who struggle to communicate it) and explore the fundamentals of evidence-based treatment.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a clearer lens for identifying anxiety and a strong foundation to build on in Part 2, where we’ll dive deeper into implementing the intervention in schools.
Upon completion of this course, you will:
- Identify anxiety in students
- Compare general anxiety symptoms in students to those that may present in neurodiverse students
- Consider what students might be a fit for FYF-S
- Describe the core components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety

This is Part 2 of the Facing Your Fears in Schools (FYF-S) training series—an evidence-based program designed to help school-based providers and educators support students in managing anxiety. In Part 1, you learned how to identify anxiety and explored the fundamentals of evidence-based treatment.
In Part 2, we’ll focus on putting that knowledge into action. You’ll learn how to implement FYF-S in school settings, including how to deliver the program in dyads or small groups, use cognitive-behavioral strategies, and guide students through facing their fears in practical, structured ways.
Note: The enrollment key for this training can be found at the end of the Part 1 training.
Upon completion of this course, you will:
- Identify which students are most likely to benefit from FYF-S
- Use the FYF-S manual for psychoeducation and guidance
- Build fear hierarchies to help students gradually confront anxieties
- Apply exposure practices effectively within a school environment
