Who this is for
Parents and caregivers who want a clearer picture of what they are seeing and what to do next.
Educational, not a substitute for care
It does not replace diagnosis or treatment by a qualified clinician. If you are worried about immediate safety, call or text 988 or contact emergency services.
Exposure work is most effective and safest with guidance from a qualified clinician. Seek professional care if anxiety is severe, getting worse, keeping your child from school for more than a few days, or if you have any safety concern.
