Gympie West State School

08/06/2026

During Term 3 Gympie West State School will be running Triple P’s FEARLESS - a program for parents and carers of children experiencing anxiety.

This course is designed for children aged between 6 and 14 years and will be run by our Student Wellbeing Psychologist, Charlotte and our awesome Chappy, Neil.

It will be held over 6 sessions and will be run fortnightly or weekly in Term 3 and may roll into Term 4 (not being run during the holidays).

The program will explore:
• An understanding of how anxiety develops in young people
• How to support your child to express and manage upsetting emotions more effectively
• How to help your child develop coping skills and face feared situations
• How to manage children’s anxiety behaviour effectively
