Cool Kids: Family Group Program for Children's Anxiety
Wednesday 21 June 2023 from 5:30pm to 6:30pm
Please contact to RSVP and confirm session times.
In the coming weeks, the ACAP Clinic will offer the Cool Kids – Family Group Program for Children's Anxiety. The program will be offered onsite at the ACAP Clinic (L11, 255 Elizabeth St Sydney).
Cool Kids is a structured (9 week) program for children aged 9-11 years, which teaches children and their carers/parents how to manage anxiety. The program offers practical skills, which are founded in cognitive behavioural therapy.
Research and evaluation have shown that children experience a marked reduction in anxiety following the program, leading to improved school attendance, friendships, family connections and social confidence.
Participation in Cool Kids will provide a chance to connect with other children and families who are experiencing anxiety and build skills together.
The program itself is free but there is a manual available for purchase which will greatly assist families with the program. When families contact to register, we will discuss this with them. Families will not be denied access due to financial reasons.
Spaces are limited, so early RSVP and registration is recommended.
