This Program Is Designed To Help Professionals Interact With Stressed Children

Teachers, Counselors and Therapists Receive Positive Results and Feedback About The Program. 
Instant Stress Relief for Kids and Teen Edition are unique programs created by Cris Sorel, a mom and  Dr. Terry Mooney, Director of the Stress and Anxiety Clinic at Karner Psychological Associates in New York. Their mission is to not only help children who are patients, but to reach out to children at an early age so they do not need counseling for stress, anxiety and anger managment and can enjoy their youth and be happy.

Why kids, teens and parents dealing with stress and anxiety will thank you.
Parents seek help for their children to become the happy, productive and well-adjusted adults they envision.  Your sincere interest in helping children will be appreciated and ensures them that you truly care about their health and success.

The program is engaging and easy to follow.  Kids relate to "Carey," a former patient of co-author Dr. Terry Mooney.   She gives an engaging testimony of her struggles and walks the children through several relaxation and motivational techniques.  We hear most often that they feel a connection with Carey and learn the valuable lesson that ALL kids can be weighed down by stress overload.  This knowledge helps them to overcome the feeling that they are alone or different.  Because of this revelation they begin to share their feelings, which facilitates their well-being.

In the motivational section, children are encouraged to set and reach goals. 
Craig, a professional athelete, teaches teens performance techniques that he was taught by sports psychologists and coaches. We find that once they learn the success formula to manage their stress and anxiety they look forward to their future and are able to set manageable goals.  Because of these skill-building techniques they develop a level of self confidence that enables them to accomplish and reach their goals.  Craig inspires them and  is an example of how discipline and hard work can make their dreams a reality.  The Take Action Today! Section and Journals help teens to develop skills that will help keep them get on the fast track to success.

Supporting you....beyond your work setting.
As a physician, therapist or counselor, it doesn't matter if you are in a practice, school, private institution or recreational setting-you see the effects of stress and anxiety, fear, worry, and anger on children.  You want to help, but you don't have the time.  Now you can empower the parents to help them learn and manage their emotions.

How many times have you heard from school counselors that children need a less stressful environment at home? This program includes an educational section for parents so they can accomplish just that.  By including the entire family in the process, communication increases among family members and, thereby, improves relationships.

This program is also excellent for group work with shy, socially anxious kids and teens who feel uncomfortable in this type of setting.  The children enjoy the lessons and the support they receive from their peers.
