Parents and carers may worry about children and want to protect them or may feel frustrated that children spend so much time focusing on things that don’t seem very important. Their behaviour can have an impact on family life, as well as affecting a child’s friendships, and how they get on at school. Parents may also feel anxious.

SilverCloud® by Amwell® is a mental health programme that parents can do on their phone, tablet or computer. It uses Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, or CBT for short, which is widely used as a proven and effective treatment for anxiety.

CBT will allow parents to understand their child’s feelings and show them how to help children learn the skills they need to cope and thrive. It will also help parents manage their own emotions, providing tools and knowledge to respond positively to challenges, and move forwards together.

There are two programmes available:
Supporting An Anxious Child
Supporting An Anxious Teen
