Intervention Programmes
Changing Patterns (Behaviour)
Exam Anxiety
Managing Anxiety
Ready to Go (Attendance)
Our intervention programmes are designed to be run over several sessions with individuals or groups of students. The logistics of sessions can be adapted to suit the school timetable.
Our programmes are being successfully used in schools nationwide, from PRUs to prestigious independent schools.
Each intervention is available for adolescents & young adults, or children (age 6+ years).
Again, all programmes are provided as PDF’s, so they can be used in your setting as many times as necessary without any ongoing costs, and all updates are included for no extra cost. Annual licensing is required.
Changing Patterns (Behaviour)
The “Changing Patterns” course is to help young people change negative patterns of behaviour, to understand how they currently think and react, and to consider how they can change this to behave and/or react in more positive ways. This will lead to more positive outcomes and to end the cycle of reprimand and negative reinforcement.
Exam Anxiety
This programme provides students with tools and strategies to manage their anxiety so that it doesn’t impact their performance and life. It helps them to rationalise their negative thoughts and replace them with more realistic ones.
Managing Anxiety
The programme helps students to look at the possible causes for their anxiety, rationalise their anxiety and learn strategies to manage it so it does not negatively impact their life. It discusses that everyone experiences anxiety, to expect none is unrealistic, and that it is how we manage anxiety that affects our mental well-being.
Ready to Go (Attendance)
This programme looks at the possible reasons for their anxiety about attending school. It helps students discuss and rationalise these reasons and develop a plan to return to school. Each step in the plan is discussed and planned to reduce the anxiety of the student and enable them to feel more confident and relaxed about attending school
