What is the Weather the Worry Storms Programme?
This 16 session workbook will help you teach children about anxiety and how to manage it using a weather theme. This child friendly approach makes learning about worry and relevant coping strategies accessible for children. Our aim is to make engaging, impactful resources that empower you to deliver education and wellbeing support in classrooms or in therapy rooms.
By working their way through the 16 sessions, children will learn what worry is, where it comes from (how the brain works) and how it can be both helpful and unhelpful. They will learn to recognise their worries and strategies to manage them.
Through our creative and unique worry weather character concept, designed by a trained Kids Coach and Primary School Teacher, children will learn about their mind, empowering them to understand that they have a lot of control over how they think and feel.
