Worry Busters
Worry Busters is a 7-week programme, run each term, that teaches children (aged 8-12) and their parents’ effective strategies to manage anxiety. Parents also attend to act as “coaches” for their children as well as learning specific parenting strategies to help parent anxious children. Sessions are fun, active and child-centred with an emphasis on practicing the skills within the session.
Programme sessions are held in Hastings (Tuesdays) and Napier (Wednesdays) from 2.30pm to 4pm over a 7 week period.
