About Take Action
Take Action is a structured, comprehensive program grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), specifically designed to help children take control of their anxiety. The program is delivered through six sequential treatment modules over 10 weeks, each module building upon the previous one, to help children develop an ACTION plan—a practical, coping-oriented approach that empowers children to manage their anxiety effectively.
What Does the ACTION Plan Teach?
- A: Be AWARE of feelings and recognise signs of anxiety.
- C: Keep CALM with strategies like deep breathing and relaxation techniques.
- T: THINK strong, positive thoughts to replace unhelpful, anxious ones.
- I: Get INTO ACTION by gradually confronting fears and rewarding progress.
- O: Use my OPTIONS, like problem-solving and asking for help.
- N: NEVER stop taking ACTION, planning for the future to manage anxiety long-term.
Why Choose Take Action at CBT Professionals?
- Proven Effectiveness: Research shows that 60-80% of children who complete the program are diagnosis-free at the end of a group session.
- Tailored to Your Child’s Needs: The program can be adapted for younger children (ages 4-7) with appropriate modifications to the materials and delivery.
- Comprehensive Resources: Includes a practitioner guidebook, assessment modules, and professionally published workbooks for children and parents.
- Engaging and Supportive: The program runs over 10 weeks, with sessions designed for both children and parents to ensure a holistic approach to anxiety management.
How Does Take Action Work?
- Structured Sessions: The program consists of 10 weekly 90 minute sessions, with children attending all sessions and parents attending between 4-6 sessions during the same period.
- Flexible Formats: Take Action can be delivered in both individual and group settings, with groups often divided by age (4-7 years and 8-12 years) to better meet the developmental needs of the children.
