CALM program for anxious children and their school nurses
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether the CALM program can reduce anxiety symptoms in children ages 5–12 who have elevated anxiety. It also involves school nurses as part of delivering or supporting the program, to see if it works in a school setting.
