Luke and Jenny's stories
The intimate first person testimony of these two young people may help students to understand what it can feel like to go through a panic attack, and may help them see how someone can get into a state of panic to begin with. Through Luke and Jenny’s accounts, pupils may learn to empathise with those suffering from severe worry and panic attacks, and in general to feel empathy for others.
Teachers may find this film particularly useful in opening up discussion around how to cope when feeling worried or frightened, and on how to help people who might be feeling stressed.
Teaching PSHE?
After watching the film you could ask pupils what it means to have a panic attack and how it might affect different people.
Ask pupils to discuss what to do if they think they or someone they know is having a panic attack, and what mechanisms they could use for dealing with stress and anxiety.
