Knock Counselling Centre are launching a programme to help prevent and treat anxiety in young people and adolescents.
The ‘Cool Kids’ programme, available for the first time in Ireland, is run over eight to ten sessions and teaches children aged 7-17 and their parents how to better manage the child’s anxiety.
Peter Devers, Senior Psychotherapist said: “The programme supports participants in learning about their feelings, worries and anxieties and builds coping skills to reduce the amount of life interference caused by anxiety. It also teaches other important coping skills.”
