Cool Kids Anxiety Management Program.

What is Cool Kids?

Cool Kids is a well-established, evidence-based cognitive-behavioural skills program designed to help children and their caregivers manage anxiety effectively. 

It guides children in understanding their thoughts and feelings, facing fears gradually, and developing coping strategies for anxiety. .

What your child and family will learn

Over the course of the program, children and parents will learn to:

  • Recognise and label feelings and anxiety responses

  • Identify thinking patterns that fuel worry

  • Challenge negative or irrational beliefs

  • Develop step-by-step plans for facing fears

  • Increase awareness of bodily cues and emotional states

  • Build emotional regulation and coping skills

  • Promote confidence and resilience

Parent involvement is integrated into the program to support the child’s progress, and to reinforce strategies at home.
