Children's Anxiety Group
Maria is adapting a successful children’s anxiety group program she helped to develop earlier in her career, and is pleased to be offering it to families in the community.
Worry Wise Children’s Anxiety Group will be offered to families in the Toronto area starting in spring 2018. In this twelve-week program, kids and their parents learn evidence-based coping skills for dealing with worries and fears. Children between the ages of 9 and 13 who experience anxiety can apply; no formal diagnosis is required.
During weekly sessions, children learn coping skills by practising cognitive-behavioural therapy, yoga, and creative expression. Family engagement is a central part of the program. Adults participate in parent education sessions to learn new skills to support their children and to address their own parenting challenges.
As part of the application process, children and parents meet with Maria to determine their fit for the program.
The next group begins March 22, 2018. Interested participants can learn more on the Worry Wise website and contact Maria to register.
