The Coping Cat Anxiety Group is a 12-week virtual program for children ages 9–11 designed to help participants better understand and manage anxiety. Based on the evidence-based Coping Cat program, the group teaches practical skills for recognizing anxious thoughts and feelings, developing healthy coping strategies, building confidence, and gradually facing fears. Through interactive activities, discussion, and support from peers, children learn that they can handle challenges, tolerate discomfort, and become more confident in everyday situations. The goal is to help children develop lifelong tools for managing anxiety and navigating the world with greater courage and resilience.

The Coping Cat group is a fun and supportive program for kids ages 7–13 who experience anxiety. The group is divided into two sections based on age: one for children ages 7–10 and another for those ages 11–13, ensuring the content matches their developmental needs. Over 18 sessions, split into two parts, kids will learn to recognize their anxious thoughts and feelings, practice helpful strategies to manage them, and gradually face their fears step by step. The first nine sessions focus on building skills and confidence, while the second nine involve practicing these skills in real-life situations with both group and individual tasks. Parents also play a key role, meeting with the therapist twice to learn how to support their child, reinforce skills at home, and better understand their child’s journey.
