Summary of Topics Covered:
Children, young people and families often talk about their experiences of anxiety and the challenges it brings to their well-being. Anxiety is a normal human response to danger or a threat, but it becomes an issue when it is more severe than it should be relative to the situation, lasts longer than it should, or influences the way we function in our daily lives.
At the ISPCC. we offer FREE digital programmes, based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, for parents and carers to help them learn how to support the anxious child or teenager in their life. The aim is to empower participants to think and feel better and to apply the given techniques in their day-to-day lives.
The programmes contain 8 modules plus additional content and take 8-12 weeks to complete. A trained member of our Childline team guides and supports each participant through their programme confidentially with weekly reviews conducted online through the Silvercloud platform that also hosts the course content. The programme can be completed fully online, not requiring any travel or face to face visits.
The most common causes of anxiety we see in young people and parent’s participating in our programmes are around social anxiety and school avoidance but we welcome those experiencing anxiety of all types.
