In a move towards better sustainability, we have moved to a 'print on demand' provider. For the first time the yearbook will be in full colour throughout, making it an even better memento of your child's year at school.
Australian Childhood Anxiety Treatment Study
Free home-based assessment and treatment for 7 to 12 year old children with fear and anxiety disorders.
Does your child become very afraid of certain situations or objects, worry about a lot of things, get very distressed, or try to avoid things they fear?
About the study
Our team at Griffith University may be able to assist you. We are conducting a nationwide study that includes the following services at no cost to families:
- A thorough assessment of your child’s anxiety with a trained psychologist via the telephone;
- Your child receiving one of two kinds of home- based treatments delivered on a PC, laptop or tablet; and
- Two follow-up telephone assessments with a trained psychologist 6- and 12-monthsafter treatment to track your child’s progress.
The study aims to find out if these two treatments are as effective as each other, and which children have the best response to each kind of treatment. This will mean that there are more evidence-based treatments available for helping anxious children.
About the treatments
Each treatment involves your child completing treatment sessions at home on a PC, laptop or tablet.
Each treatment involves your child learning practical strategies to better manage anxiety.
- One treatment helps children learn to control the focus of their attention on helpful things around them.
- The other treatment helps children learn to think differently and approach things they fear.
Each treatment includes information, telephone or email support for parents in assisting their child to better manage anxiety.
Prior studies have shown that children who complete each treatment experience significant reductions in anxiety.
