Online anxiety treatment programs at Open Access College

Posted on February 11, 2019

Are your fears and worries stopping you from:

• Doing what you want to do?
• Disrupting your sleeping/eating patterns?
• Making or keeping friends?
• Doing work (school or paid work)?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you might benefit from an anxiety treatment program. OAC are offering students a chance to opt in to an online treatment program tailored to suit their needs.

These programs aim to teach young people and their parent/carers how to better manage anxiety, by teaching clear and practical skills. Topics covered by the program include:

• How unhelpful thoughts make us anxious
• Thought challenging and thinking realistically
• Assertiveness and problem-solving
• Fighting fear by gradually facing fear

Courses are supported/facilitated by an accredited psychologist, and will include an initial assessment to look at what course you need.

Who:

13-18 year olds and their parents/carers

When:

Commences term 2, 2019, weekly online sessions (various times)
