Video Interaction Guidance
This is an attachment based coaching approach which has been shown to be highly effective for parents and young people. It focuses on recognising and building upon strength to develop and strengthen key relationships. The approach supports children, young people and their parents/carers to understand positive aspects of behaviour and to improve communication skills through positive shared experiences.

The Overcoming Programme
The Overcoming Programme is a guided self-help Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) programme for parents of anxious children. The aim of the programme is for parents to become anxiety management experts by providing strategies that parents can work though at home to support their child. Techniques are discussed with parents in a collaborative way, asking for their opinion as to how each strategy might work for their child given what they know about them. Time is spent on reflecting on what works best for the family and guiding the parents, as well as providing opportunity for practice.
