Parent-led online anxiety support for children aged 5-12

Online Support Intervention (OSI)

OSI (Online Support and Intervention for Child Anxiety), is an online platform designed to help parents to learn tools and techniques to help their child (aged 5 to 12 years old) to overcome difficulties with anxiety.

Parents work through weekly online modules that contain videos, quizzes, and interactive worksheets. Parents are also supported by a weekly telephone/video call appointment with a clinician. You can access OSI at a convenient time for you using any electronic device!

This support may be suitable for those children who are experiencing problems with anxiety, such as:

  • Difficulties being away from caregivers
  • General worries
  • School worries
  • Bedtime fears
  • Social worries
  • Phobias (e.g. spiders, dogs, injections)
  • And more!

Emotional wellbeing support for children, young people and parents

To request an assessment to determine which type of support would be suitable for you/your child, please follow this process:

1.      Talk to your school’s Mental Health Lead about a referral to our service. They will discuss your/your child’s needs with our service to consider different support options. They will talk with you about the outcome and the next steps. If we are not the most appropriate service to offer help, we will try to signpost you to another suitable service.
