Anxiety and Worry Kit 8-16 Years

Anxiety and Worry Kit

This kit uses the principles of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), which empowers the individual to make their own decisions and take control.

• Within it are lots of self-help techniques that young people can use depending on their personal situation and what they are worrying about. Suitable for 8-16yrs.

• Use the questions on the fans to instigate conversation and discuss what happens when someone is feeling anxious, such as: What happens when you are anxious? How do you feel? How do you behave? What do you need to do? Think about your behaviour (including questions about self-harm).

• The kit can be used on a one to one basis or in small groups (we suggest no more than 4 young people at a time). If using at home, we also suggest that the kit is shared with school or college.

• We strongly recommend taking a person-centred approach and use only the questions that are appropriate for the individual and take as long as necessary to go through the discussion points.
