BRAVE™
BRAVE™ is an interactive cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) program developed specifically for anxious children, teens and their parents.
Anxiety disorders are one of the most common mental health conditions affecting children and teenagers. Anxiety can create a sense of doom and foreboding that seems to come out of nowhere and oftentimes we think our child is “going through a phase” and that there is nothing to worry about. Children themselves tend to avoid their negative feelings. However, it is imperative to read the signs because anxiety can be extremely debilitating and cause significant problems in a person’s emotional, social, and educational functioning.
With BRAVE™ children, teenagers, and their parents have access to proven online CBT in a self-help format, which can be accessed from the comfort of their own homes. In 2018, 4,425 users of the child and adolescent self-help programs in Australia participated in a study, revealing that irrespective of the number of sessions completed, young people showed a statistically significant average decrease in their anxiety symptoms.
BRAVE™ has been developed by a team from The University of Queensland and is based on research evidence compiled over 15 years. Parents of children who complete the program can rest assured their child is receiving a high-quality treatment program.
