SilverCloud for Helping Children and Teens

This course is designed for parents and carers of children aged 4 to 11. It will help you support young children to deal with anxious thoughts and feelings, and to help them face their fears — perhaps the most important thing any of us can do in terms of tackling anxiety.

You can access the course any time, and work through it at your own pace. As you progress, you will learn lots more about the unhelpful patterns we can all fall into — wee ones and adults alike! At the same time, you will be helping your children learn new skills they can put into practice day by day.

There are eight parts to the online course, including activities, quizzes and lots of helpful things to try with your children, including relaxation and building self-esteem. All of this is rooted in high-quality psychological approaches which are powerful yet kind.

Teenage years are a time of changes and challenges, and as adults it can feel hard to help. This comprehensive, easy-to-follow course is for parents and carers of young people aged 12 to 18. It is designed to give you the skills and confidence you need to support them through the difficulties they might be facing — while at the same time exploring valuable new strategies they can use themselves.

The course has eight parts, which you can work through any time, going at your own pace. You will learn about different ways of looking at anxiety; about how to help young people understand their complex feelings; and about how to support and empower them to deal with common difficulties such as worry and low self-esteem. This includes exploring new ways to talk to your teens about what they are going through — and to help them learn valuable problem-solving skills they can use now and in future.
