Coping Cat and the C.A.T. Project are evidence-based cognitive behavior therapy programs designed to help normalize the experience of anxiety for youth while developing skills to effectively address anxious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Group members will participate in numerous activities that may include:

• art activities, group discussions, games
• experiential exercises to understand what anxiety is and how it develops
• learning how to challenge fear-based self-talk to change anxious thinking (C.A.T.).

The camps are staffed by students in the Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) program at Roberts Wesleyan University under the supervision of licensed psychologists at Westside Psychological Services.

To ensure that this group is appropriate for each youth, screening is required.
