Clear Fear provides you with a range of ways to manage the symptoms of anxiety. Developed by a clinician co-collaboratively with young people, Clear Fear uses a Cognitive Behavioural framework to help you change anxious thoughts and emotions, alter anxious behaviours and calm fear responses. It also has helpful descriptions of the different ways in which anxiety presents, resources and a 'grit box' to boost resilience. It is recommended for the ages of 11-19 years but can be used by a younger group with the support of a parent or carer. Clear Fear compliments, but does not substitute for the assessment and ongoing support of a mental health professional.
