Australian Wide Anxiety Treatment Study for 7 – 12 Year Olds

Does your child become very afraid of certain situations or objects, worry about a lot of things, get very distressed, or try to avoid things they fear?
ÁñÁ«³ÉÈËappÏÂÔØ the study
Our team at Griffith University may be able to assist you. We are conducting a nationwide study that includes the following services at no cost to families:
• A thorough assessment of your child’s anxiety witha trained psychologist via the telephone;
• Your child receiving one of two kinds of homebased treatments delivered on a PC, laptop or tablet; and
• Two follow-up telephone assessments with a trained psychologist 6- and 12-months after treatment to track your child’s progress.
The study aims to find out if these two treatments are as effective as each other, and which children have the best response to each kind of treatment. This will mean that there are more evidence-based treatments available for helping anxious children.
