Anxiety Coach

Helping Parents Support Anxious Children

Guiding children to worry less, grow braver, and thrive.

FREE | Practical Tools | For Parents & Carers 

Childhood anxiety is increasingly common, and parents often feel unsure how to help. That’s why we created Anxiety Coach—a FREE 3-week online education course for parents and carers of children aged 2–12.

Across three weekly 2hr sessions, you’ll learn how to support your child to reduce worry, face challenges with confidence, and build resilience that lasts.

This program equips you with clear, practical strategies to support your child’s emotional wellbeing—while keeping family life balanced and calm.
