For those of you unable to join us on this evening the State Government is offering families an opportunity to view a selection of FREE online, view at your own discretion modules, that focus upon teen anxiety with a particular emphasis upon encouraging resilience and confidence in your young person. This is an opportunity to build a stronger bond with your child and hopefully develop a better understanding of what’s within your control to change and influence for your teenager’s benefit. To start the free program just go to: www.triplep-parenting.net
There is a Fear/-less Triple P online module focussing upon anxious 6 – 14 year old students and the Teen Triple-P Online Module targeting 10 – 16 year old students.
