Go Zen

A neurobiological approach to anxiety for autistic and neurodivergent people

The GO ZEN® Anxiety Program supports autistic and neurodivergent individuals to reduce their worry. Participants learn to:

​

  • Recognize how anxiety impacts their body and mind.

  • Transform physical symptoms of anxiety into calm.

  • Identify “ThoughtHoles” - sneaky thoughts that distort reality.

  • Use techniques, including the 5Cs of resilience and the FARR Method, to combat anxious thinking and behaviours.

​

Children will understand how their nervous system responds to stress and build practical, body-based strategies to restore regulation before anxiety escalates into shutdown, avoidance or meltdown.

This program builds capacity in:

  • Emotional regulation and stress management

  • Participation in school and community activities

  • Independence and self-management

  • Reduced distress, shutdowns and avoidance

  • Improved ability to cope with change, uncertainty and daily demands
