In July, CAMHS Early Intervention Team delivered 2 online workshops for parents and carers of children and young people who are experiencing anxiety. The workshops were oversubscribed and they have now released the recordings and resources.

Resources for Parents on Anxiety and Worry
These supports include:
Access to recorded two part information session webinars- Understanding Anxiety and Supporting your child with anxiety. These are also available in BSL.
Access to two online module courses for parents based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)- Supporting your Child with Anxiety and Supporting your Teenager with Anxiety.
Both courses allow parents to work through the course at their own pace, and suitable for parents looking to support their young person with worry and anxiety, while learning helpful strategies to manage their own anxieties. These modules are available via the platform Silvercloud. Sign up is free using the access code Lothian.
