CBT resources for Young People with Worry

Our worry collection is designed to help practitioners and young people work together to understand and manage worry through structured, engaging CBT activities.

CBT-based approaches are recommended by NICE as effective first-line treatments for mild to moderate anxiety in children and young people.

Created by experienced clinicians and educators, the materials use clear language, engaging graphics, and relatable examples to make sessions accessible and effective.

The collection includes:

Psychoeducation handouts explaining what worry is and the maintenance cycles that keep it going.
Simple worry diary templates with practical tips to help young people effectively record their worries.
Practical CBT exercises for exploring real vs hypothetical worries, using card sorts and the worry tree.
Easy-to-use tools for worry time and problem solving
