The Triple P programme that Compass Be offers is
- Fear-less Triple P – Help them break free from anxiety
How fearless Triple-P programme can help parents
(Currently unavailable until early 2025)
- Become the best possible role models for children learning to manage their anxiety.
- Support their children to become more emotionally resilient and better able to express and manage uncomfortable or difficult emotions.
- Develop a toolbox of strategies for helping children manage their anxiety more effectively.
- Review and refine how they respond to their child’s anxiety to build their child’s emotional resilience.
Ultimately, the programme supports parents in applying positive parenting and anxiety management skills with more confidence.
Parents are encouraged to use strategies with each child in the family, not just the one about whom they have the most concerns. As a result, the whole family are better able to manage anxiety provoking situations and experience less anxiety.

Workshops
We run self harm, low mood and anxiety workshops in schools and communities throughout the borough of Barnsley.
The workshops are tailored to parents/carers of children and young people who suffer from mental health conditions.
They will improve your knowledge and give you a basic understanding of self harm, anxiety and low mood and it’s affects as well as provide coping strategies that you can use to support your child.
Speak to your child’s school to see if we are running a workshop and they can book you a free space.
