The Brave Program

The BRAVE Program is an interactive, online program for the prevention and treatment of childhood and adolescent anxiety. The programs are free, and provide ways for children and teenagers to better cope with their worries. There are also programs for parents.

There are three programs for children aged 3–7 years, 8–12 years and 12–17 years.

The features of this program:

• An audio track with guided exercises for deep breathing, muscle relaxation, guided imagery and other anxiety reduction techniques.
• An interactive ‘BRAVE ladder’, a tool for planning and managing stepped exposure to sources of anxiety.

The program is free but the user is required to register before commencement and it is only available within Australia.
