Department of Psychology
The Child Anxiety Rural Outreach Program (CAROP)
CAROP HAS NOW CLOSED. Unfortunately we have reached the maximum number of families that we can accept into the program.
Accessing Alternative Treatment
We recommend speaking to
your GP, as they may be able to provide you with
a Medicare referral to a psychologist in your
area.
A replacement telephone-based outreach service
will be offered through the Emotional Health
Clinic, expected to start in December. Please
contact the clinic directly to express your
interest, on (02) 9850 8711. Please note that
this will not be a free program.
Self-Help Option for Families
The book that our program is based on is available for sale, and is designed for families to work through independently. Just go to www.emotionalhealthclinic.com.au and visit 'products' to find out how to purchase Helping Your Anxious Child (Second Edition). You can choose to purchase the accompanying child workbook at the same time, or you will receive instructions for how to access it for free online.
Program Kit for Mental Health Professionals
The Cool Kids Outreach Program Kit is now available for sale. This aids the mental health professional in supporting a family who is completing the self help version of the Cool Kids program known as Helping Your Anxious Child. Just go to www.emotionalhealthclinic.com.au and visit 'products' to find out how to purchase the Cool Kids Outreach Program Kit.

The Centre For Emotional Health
The Centre for Emotional Health is a specialist clinical research unit dedicated to furthering research into the nature and treatment of child, adolescent and adult anxiety disorders. The centre offers state of the art assessment and treatment of child and adult anxiety disorders. Our programs have been adopted nationally and internationally, and research conducted by our centre and other research groups shows that our programs lead to immediate and ongoing positive outcomes.
