Resilience is a powerful word, and in today’s busy world it is easy to get lost, feel anxious and overwhelmed. We all get affected, and children feel it more so as they do not have the skills to effectively verbalise their problems.

We have found some solutions to these problems and have created programs which address the issues of anxiety in a heart centered creative way. These programs are designed for children who suffer with anxiety, social phobias, and mild depression
