My Anxiety Plan (M.A.P.) for Children

AnxietyBC is extremely pleased to announce the launch of My Anxiety Plan (M.A.P.) for Children. M.A.P. is a free online anxiety management toolkit and step-by-step guide for parents with anxious children. After identifying a need for anxiety management tools that parents can use at home, AnxietyBC, along with a psychologist, developed tools based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that can be used to manage eleven different anxiety and anxiety related disorders. This program and the resources associated with it are free of charge on the AnxietyBC website (HERE).
