Group Sessions for Children

“Can you imagine how heart-wrenching it is to watch a little child – just in the early years of primary school – battling each day with severe anxiety.  You as the parent feel so distressed for her you do not know how to help.  You find out about a successful, world-recognised program that can help your child – but you cannot afford it.

Imagine your gratitude when you discover your child is entitled to participate in this program free of charge through the Pathways to Resilience Trust.  Imagine the joy of seeing this program empower your child with coping skills. Giving her back the pleasures that belong to childhood.  Turning her life around”
