Classes are held once per week from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. For a current evening schedule, call the number below. Six week course tuition is $120.00 ($20.00 per class) and includes all materials.

Left unattended, chronic anxiety can cause fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, difficulty swallowing, trembling, twitching, irritability, sweating and even hot flashes. With the right help and support, you can and will feel better.

Burrell offers an anxiety management class that can help you gain control over your anxiety. Meeting in a group setting allows you the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others and to gain additional support from individuals who are experiencing many of the same things you do.
