8-12 Anxiety group
Our Anxiety group is for parents/carers and young people aged 8-12 years. There are 4 group sessions which are 2 hours long and delivered fortnightly. The sessions incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help equip the young person and parent with strategies to manage anxiety. Parents/carers and children are split into two separate rooms to learn techniques. We set home tasks in between sessions to encourage the families to try the strategies they are learning outside of the group. Please note, only the child, parent/carers are able to attend the group, unfortunately we are unable to accommodate other siblings/family members joining the group.
