Centre for Anxiety
Centre for Anxiety (CfA) is based at the Department of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen. The centre is a teaching and research facility, specialising in internalising problems (anxiety, OCD, school refusal behaviour and depression) in children, adolescents and adults.
At Centre for Anxiety, we place great importance on sharing our expertise in anxiety and depression. We have many years of experience in training and supervising psychologists and interdisciplinary staff in treatment of anxiety and depression. We excel at being able to draw on both international research findings and many years of experience from treatment at CFA clinic.
We offer both standard and tailor-made continuing education and supervision courses for psychologists and other interdisciplinary staff who work with anxious children and young people in municipal and regional institutions.
At Center for Anxiety, we are trying to get one-step closer to understanding why some children and young people develop anxiety and depression and how to quickly and effectively help them overcome these problems. We have therefore i.e. developed a completely new treatment concept, ‘Help for Self-Help’ that involves helping parents to learn how they can help their children. We have received international recognition for our work in finding new ways to help children and young people.
