Anxiety Management: Prevention vs. Intervention
When it comes to dealing with stress and anxiety, we have a few options to consider. There are some practices that fall into a prevention category and others which fall into an intervention category.

Both strategies have a purpose and are important tools to place in your mental wellness toolkit.
