The Childhood Anxiety Treatment Roadmap

$249.99 Standard
Also Available: DVD

In a child’s heart anxiety can weave a tangled web, casting shadows on their innocence and stealing moments of joy. And when they come into your care you want so badly to illuminate their path with hope and restore happiness.

But providing anxiety treatment that’s effective, engaging and time limited can be daunting. The search for “the best way” can leave you feeling like you need to be an anxiety expert to make a difference.

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to be.

That’s why I created this simple, yet comprehensive, training designed to address generalized anxiety symptoms in children in and adolescents.

I’m Dr. Jeffrey Olrick, clinical psychologist and author of The 6 Needs of Every Child: Empowering Parents and Kids through the Science of Connection. I’ve specialized in working with children and families for over 20 years. And now in this training I’ll share a scripted program that combines the evidence-based power of CBT with the easy-to-understand language and engaging psychoeducation tools you need to improve outcomes with anxious kids and teens.

Perfect for new therapists, experienced therapists looking to complement your existing toolset or those just wanting a clear and straightforward structure to support your clients, this accessible and adaptable program will add value to your work whether you’re based in residential treatment, the public school system, community mental health or private practice.

Watch me as I show you how you can provide the anxiety treatment kids need with:

  • Simple but effective strategies to help kids control their anxiety alarms
  • Tools to identify and defuse the core sources of their worry and fears
  • Techniques that help kids take control of anxious and intrusive thoughts
  • Easy-to-understand language and engaging psychoeducation materials
  • Guidance on how to target anxiety across different contexts
  • And much more

This is your chance to confidently guide young people towards a path of healing and empowerment – even if you don’t consider yourself an anxiety expert.

I can’t wait to see you there.
