In 2018, we developed the 12 Step Anxiety Recovery Program - a program of psychosocial education using adapted CBT principles that aims to provide strategies to develop resilience and learn how anxiety can work for you, rather than against you.
The program has been successfully adapted for young people, individuals with neurodiversity, parents/ carers of anxious children, and professionals working in mental health.
You do not have to be neurodiverse to attend the 12 Step, however it can be successfully adapted for neurodiversity.
