The WorryWoo Mighty Monsters Program was created to support counsellors, facilitators and mental health professionals on their journey to implementing WorryWoos into group settings.
How the program will help:
- Adult-child interaction will provide immediate reinforcement for brave/positive/social thinking skills.
- Play experiences will focus on understanding anxiety and how the brain works.
- Use of cognitive behavioural therapeutic techniques (WorryWoo Monsters, props, books, role play, games, science) will provide a fun way to understand and cope with thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
- Sharing of group experiences will increase situational learning.
- Experiences will reveal each child’s strengths and challenges in social interaction, conflict resolution, listening, sense of control, understanding of emotions, and frustration tolerance.
- Children of different ages will be combined into small groups to provide a range of social skills.
At the conclusion of this course:
- Children will learn skills that will reduce avoidance of stressful situations.
- Children will learn communication skills that pertain to feelings and expression of those feelings (build emotional vocabulary).
- Children will learn specific things that they can do to control their behaviour and reduce avoidance or negativity of thought.
- Children will advance their social skills by increasing awareness of feelings in oneself and others.
- Parents will increase their understanding of anxiety, social skills and optimistic thinking in children.
ALL PRE-ORDERS WILL BE DELIVERED MID-JANUARY 2025
