Anxiety
Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS) Lothian have produced six short, recorded information sessions based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the recommended treatment for managing anxiety and worries. The information sessions will help you learn more about what anxiety is and how you can support your child to overcome it.
Experiencing anxiety and worry is normal and common in people of all ages. While we all experience anxiety sometimes, there are times when anxiety and worry can feel very difficult to manage. For children and young people experiencing these difficulties, learning a little more about anxiety and ways of overcoming it can be helpful. Within these videos, parents are supported in developing skills and confidence to help their children overcome their difficulties with anxiety.
