Basecamp® is an innovative anxiety program for children aged 7 to 12 years, developed by clinical psychologist Dr Kathryn Berry and the Quirky Kid team. Since publication, Basecamp® has won both local and international prizes, including The London Book Fair International Excellence Award and Best Designed Educational Resource at the 66th Australian Book Design Awards.
This anxiety program provides children with a concise and engaging set of materials to help them build a repertoire of anxiety management techniques and to support the development of essential social and emotional learning (SEL) skills. Throughout the 8-week term, participants will:
- Understand worry, anxiety, and its components to develop more realistic ways of thinking about situations that make them anxious
- Practice cognitive restructuring and graded exposure techniques to overcome worry thoughts
- Master relaxation techniques to reduce overall arousal levels and physiological tension typically associated with anxiety
- Learn to build relapse-prevention strategies and apply action plans when difficulties arise
Evaluation
Each program is evaluated to ensure that it meets our strict learning outcomes. Current research with parents indicates that 73% of children were better able to manage their worries and anxiety (overall) after attending the BaseCamp® program (n=39).
