New Audio Program Designed to Help Children Overcome Anxiety & Fear
Charlotte, NC (Vocus) March 2, 2010
Informed Therapy Resources (ITR) announces its upcoming release of a powerful audio program designed for children who struggle with anxiety and depression titled Turnaround: Turning Fear Into Freedom™.
Licensed Psychologist Dr. David Russ and Licensed Professional Counselor Christopher McCarthy of ITR partnered together to create a comprehensive, creative audio program that speaks directly to children who struggle with various forms of anxiety. The program is based upon cognitive-behavioral therapy, which has shown conclusive results in the treatment of anxiety and depression disorders. What makes Turnaround™ truly unique and without rival is the priority of making the material child friendly. The pioneering child psychologist, Dr. Albert Bandura scientifically showed that children learn best from each other. In Turnaround™, scientifically proven treatment is combined with kid captivating fun and creativity.
Turnaround ™ invites the listening child to join 6 other anxious children on an imagined 10 day hiking trip with two “Docs” and a mentor teen named Emily. These children struggle with anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), separation anxiety and social phobia. Emily acts as the narrator and guide while Dr. David and Dr. Chris leads the children though each day’s adventurous lesson. The children meet imaginary characters and hear testimony from many other children about how they learned to conquer their fears and anxieties.
The Turnaround™ Audio Program includes:
10 CD Turnaround™ Program for kids
Turnaround ™Journal, a 74 page workbook
Chill Kit, relaxation guide for kids
Parent Guide, 2 CDs packed full of helpful information and techniques to help parents.
A BONUS CD titled Med FAQs is also included. Med FAQs is an interview with nationally recognized Neuropsychiatrist, Dr. James Lee, offering a comprehensive discussion on the medications used to treat child anxiety is also included.
