To finish up my series of blogs on anxiety I’ve created a list of tried and true resources for you and your child/young person.
As an educational psychologist, I've used a number of resources to support my work and these are a few that I am happy to recommend. Not every resource will work for every person. If you don’t find it helpful or your child doesn’t seem to benefit from it then try something else.

- Mindfulness apps:
- Smiling Minds (Australian, designed for schools, children as well as adults)
- Calm (American, designed for both children and adults, has some exercise videos)
- Headspace, (British, designed for both children and adults). These can be useful to help develop an awareness of the way thinking influences feelings, among other uses.
- Hey Sigmund, https://www.heysigmund.com/about/ (very comprehensive website focused on anxiety with a huge range of resources for a wide age range)
- 3P Psychologies, https://3ppsychologies.com/ (website covers more than just anxiety but is a treasure trove or useful resources)
- Helping your anxious child, second edition, Ronald Rapee, Ann Wignall, Susan Spence, Vanessa Cobham, Heidi Lyneham (excellent resource is you are facing persistent difficulties)
