Sharon’s “Brain Science” group teaches children ages 7-9 yrs and 10-12 yrs important life-skills for understanding and managing worry and anxiety. In a fun and interactive in-person group, your child will participate in activities, games, and stories to learn about brain science, cognitive behavioural therapy strategies, the ten mind tricks of worry, perfectionism, relaxation, breathing tools and mindfulness. This group will run for seven sessions, and all seven sessions will take place in-person. The first 45 minutes of the session will be for your child and the last 15 minutes will be for parents to hear a summary of the session, and ask questions.

Session Topics:

• Brain Science – identifying the parts of the brain and their functions in an anxious state vs. a calm and focused state

• Relaxation and Breathing Training – self-regulation and visualizations

• Emotions – what they are, how we feel them, where we feel them, and how to recognize when they’re activated

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (C.B.T) – understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and actions; recognizing irrational vs. rational thoughts; developing positive self-talk; etc.

• Mindfulness – how to be in the present using all five senses

• Perfectionism, Overcoming Fears, and Developing Coping Strategies
