Free mental health program for children and teens
With the huge cost-of-living pressures facing many families, I wanted to share an amazing free online program that helps children and teenagers with anxiety, depression and wellbeing.
‘Momentum’ offers tailored online treatment programs to help children and adolescents aged 7 to 17 years learn new ways to cope with feelings of anxiety and/or unhappiness.
It also provides parents/carers with tools to determine whether a young person might be experiencing difficulties, as well as mental health care information and resources.
‘Momentum’ was developed by clinicians and digital mental health experts from six leading Australian universities, as well as community and government health partners.
The program is free to use in Australia and can be worked through at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home.
If your son or daughter is having difficulties with anxiety or depression, I’d highly recommend checking ‘Momentum’ out with them!
A reminder that at Confident Horizons we endeavour to keep the cost of mental health care affordable and offer concessional rates for Health Care Card Holders (less than $40 out of pocket with a GP referral).
