Online Support and Intervention for Child Anxiety (OSI)

Online Support and Intervention for Child Anxiety (OSI) is an online, therapist-supported platform to support the delivery of a parent-led intervention for child anxiety problems. It was developed by experts in treating childhood anxiety problems at the Universities of Reading and Oxford with funding from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).

OSI was developed based on the latest evidence on how to help children aged 5-12 years old overcome problems with fears, worries, and anxiety. Parents, carers and children with relevant personal experience, NHS clinicians, researchers, and a tech company all worked together to create OSI.
