Wellbeing
Supporting Your Student
How you can support your child with anxiety issues or encourage them to address these issues themselves with an online program:
The BRAVE Program will help you (and your parent or carer) identify, understand, and change your worried thoughts and behaviour patterns, so you can improve the way you feel.
When you use BRAVE, you will learn how to:
- Detect when you are stressed and anxious by paying attention to your body clues.
- Practice relaxation skills that are easy and actually work to calm your body.
- Change your unhelpful thoughts into helpful ones.
- Set goals and work towards overcoming your fears.
- Celebrate your success!
The experts
BRAVE was developed at The University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia by a team of experts in child and adolescent mental health. The Program’s commercial translation from research to scalable clinical use is managed by UniQuest Pty Limited.
