What

Bright Thinking is a fun, engaging and practical 6-week programme for children whose anxiety fuels their negative thinking.

The programme has demonstrated a significant reduction in children’s anxiety and a dramatic increase in social and personal competence. Bright Thinking is a strengths-based programme. Rather than a focus on the child’s anxiety or worry thoughts, it encourages a focus on what’s working!

Throughout the programme, children recognise pessimistic and optimistic thinking, while giving them the solution focused skills to get from one type of thinking to another.

Parents/carers participate in weeks 1 and 6 and information sheets are sent home each week for families to review the session together.

Parents/carers and their children can register interest for a scheduled course at a local venue; schools and organisations can book courses at their location. Contact Suzanne or visit the website for costs and to discuss requirements - discounts apply for multiple course bookings.
