Kids feeling anxious? Help is available

With kids returning to the classroom, and the state starting to open up, it’s not surprising many families are feeling worried.

To help, parents and carers now have free access to dedicated online programs to support children experiencing anxiety.

The state government’s Triple P Positive Parenting Program consists of three online modules aimed at parents of children aged 0-16 experiencing anxiety, anger and depression.

Triple P Online supports parents of children aged 0-12 years, Teen Triple P Online is targeted at parents of children 10-16 years old, and the new Fear Less Triple P Online is designed for parents whose children are aged 6-14 years old.

The Fear-Less program provides 24/7 tips, strategies and guidance for parents and carers on how to help their children manage their stress and become more emotionally resilient in challenging, uncertain times.

All the Triple P programs are translated into various languages and are available for 12 months for any Victorian families who register online at triplep-parenting.net.au.
