What is Let’s Introduce Anxiety Management (LIAM)

Let’s Introduce Anxiety Management (LIAM) was developed by NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and is based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles. It helps children to understand their anxiety in terms of how it affects our thoughts, body and actions. LIAM teaches children ways to cope with their anxiety using ‘anxiety tools’. LIAM involves meeting with a LIAM worker on a one-to-one basis for around 8 sessions to complete LIAM workbooks. Children practice the LIAM anxiety tools in between sessions, with help from parent/carers

Some of our schools across North Ayrshire have LIAM Trained Practitioners.
