What parents are saying...
''Anxiety was robbing my child of joy. It was affecting every area of her life. We came across the Get a GRIP on Anxiety Program and it has changed my daughter's life (and mine!). I can't recommend this program enough! She loved the online video lessons with Michele as well as working through her journal with me. She now feels empowered and I can see a huge difference in her thinking patterns. We worked through the program at a steady pace even though my daughter was asking about it everyday! We love that we have access to the program when it suits our family. We can't thank you enough for giving joy back to my daughter!''
