The Cool Little Kids program is an evidence-based treatment program developed at Macquarie University. It is a preventative program, and many families have participated in the program around Australia, benefiting from learning strategies to support their children.
The program is facilitated by provisionally registered psychologists from the UC Psychology Clinic, under the supervision of qualified clinical supervisors.
The Cool Little Kids program is designed for parents of young children (typically aged 3 to 7 years) who are shy, withdrawn, or otherwise at risk of developing an emotional disorder in the future.
However, the program is generally not suitable for children whose anxiety may be the result of experiencing trauma or those with additional psychiatric conditions.
Cool Little Kids is a group parent program run over six sessions. The first four sessions occur weekly, before shifting to fortnightly for the last two sessions. Each 90-minute session involves participation by parents/guardians and focuses on teaching practical skills and strategies to reduce anxiety.
Topics in the program include:
The Cool Little Kids group will run on Mondays from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM. The group will continue for approximately six weeks, with the commencement date being the 5th of May.
The cost of the program is $295. Participation includes access to the Cool Little Kids program and the program workbook. The workbook is a vital part of the Cool Little Kids program.
