Confident Parents: Thriving Kids helps parents and caregivers develop skills and strategies to support their child aged 3-12 to manage anxiety or behaviour challenges, through a series of online videos (for anxiety) or workbooks (for behaviour) and activities, supported by coaching sessions by phone. Coaching sessions can be scheduled during day, evening and weekend hours. The programs are offered at no cost to parents and caregivers across BC.
