This project will co-design, and test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel, interactive, family-based, lifestyle therapeutic program, “CALM-Kids” for improving symptoms of anxiety, psychological distress, and general functioning in children with anxiety.

The anticipated study outcome is a world- first, co-produced, scalable, and accessible, evidence-based lifestyle program for children aged 6-12 years and their families, who exhibit moderate or enduring mental health issues.

This project is funded by an MRFF Childhood Mental Health Research Grant.
