Serving thousands of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians since 2015, children and youth programs have a 90 percent success rate and adult programs are at 88 percent. Programs to be expanded are the “Chase Worries Away Program,” which educates parents and children, ages six to 11, about anxiety and relaxation skills and the “Defeat Anxiety Program,” which helps youth ages 12 to 17 learn skills to overcome, control and gradually face their anxiety. Children and parents may be referred to the programs by the mental health and addictions system, health providers and teachers.
