At the College a number of students have been participating in the online BRAVE program as a way to manage their anxieties. The students range in age from 9 to 18 years. The feedback that I have received from the students themselves has been very promising. The program is designed to assist young people and their families to learn strategies to recognise and manage feelings of anxiety and negative thought patterns that may be contributing to how they feel. There are programs designed for children, teenagers and their parents and recently a new program has been published to assist parents of young children aged 3 to 7 years of age.
The programs are divided into different modules and it is recommended to complete one module a week with each module taking between 20 to 60 minutes and can be completed at the individuals own speed. If you have any queries regarding the BRAVE program please call me to discuss on 02 6239 0606.
