"Great so far"

Great so far
We signed up this year and have just completed the bee portal. My daughter has suffered from anxiety and out bursts related to school and other activities. She is younger and her issues, whilst real are quite different to many of the kids on anxious to awesome but Hannah has been amazing. Very supportive and we feel this investment will set both our kids up for life.
It really highlights the small things we have been doing as parents that encourage anxious behaviour and how we can address it.

"Having come to the end of Bee"

Having come to the end of Bee, I wanted to share our thoughts so far. I've learned so much about anxiety, and am now happier in myself. From the first week of joining, all the stress was lifted as Hannah really does inject so much calm, positivity and HOPE, when previously there was none. Hannah is incredible at overseeing the zooms, and I found I couldn't get enough of them - I joined as many as I could, as they've kept me going as I navigate this situation. I was so grateful to see and hear from parent's going through the same, and to listen to Hannah assure us there was light at the end of the tunnel. We've injected far more fun into the home, and can't wait to see what happens in the next portal. Thank you Hannah!

"This programme has changed our lives - and now life is great again!!!"

The YoungVibes anxiety programme has been life changing for not only our daughter but the whole family. Our daughter suffered terrible anxiety which really started to show after joining secondary school - eventually leading to school refusal. After various failed attempts at different therapies (talk therapy, play therapy, hypnosis), plus moving schools and an Autism diagnosis. I came across this programme. I was just searching for something that made sense because non of what we'd experienced or been told so far did. We have worked through Pollen, Dragonfly Bee and Nectar and our daughter has worked through her modules too (and it is work - not an easy ride at all) since joining the programme in February 2024. It has been the best money we have spent - we have our daughter back (including all her wonderful sas!) and we have a happy 'normal' family life once more. We just wish we knew about Young Vibes and their Anxious to Awesome programme back when the difficulties began in October 2022!!! We have recommended this programme to several families and will continue to do so because without out we have no idea where we'd be by now. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Sam (and her wonderful quirky ways) and the whole team of supportive, caring and understanding - yet straight talking (yay!) team.

"Game Changing Experience"

After trying countless options with no real progress, I finally took a leap of faith and joined the Young Vibes program—and I’m so glad I did. After years of feeling stuck in a cycle of unhappiness, I’m finally climbing out and bringing my children with me.

This program isn’t just about supporting the child—it’s for the whole family, and it’s truly life-changing. It requires deep reflection, time, and a real commitment to change, but the positive impact happens quickly. It’s not about relying on others; it’s about taking control and making a difference for yourself and your family.

I’ve felt completely supported by the Young Vibes team throughout the journey. I’m still working my way through, but I have to give a huge shoutout to Hannah—she’s incredible. Straight-talking, full of great advice, and drawing from both personal and professional experience, she’s been a game-changer.

"This course has made such a difference to all of us."

Back in November we were at a loss as to what to do next for our Daughter.
We had pretty much tried all the avenues on offer to us, which hadn’t helped and things were getting worse.
We had been recommend to young vibes via our Daughters life coach and thought we would give it a go … we are so glad we did.
Since me and my husband started the course things have began to improve. The house is calmer, everyone seems happier and we have some light at the end of the tunnel.
The information and insights into anxiety have been very interesting and eye opening. We now have an understanding of why and how things had become so bad and are now very positive for the future.
We know things aren’t going to be easy and there will be ups and downs but we now know we have support and help from young vibes team and other parents going through the same sort of issues.
We are now hopeful and excited for going forward onto the next step. 😀

"My son had a very difficult time moving…"

My son had a very difficult time moving up to year 7 last year. This programme was an absolute lifeline for us and gave us so much support , courage and knowledge. It was extremely hard in parts but we were very willing to look at ourselves and as such took on board the direct comments and observations delivered and made a number of changes. The coaches are fantastic and the programme content for parents and children is absolutely brilliant. My son was out of school for about 8 weeks which was the absolute right thing for him as he got to reset and learn so much about himself through this programme in that time. He has started to return to school , building and pushing himself daily and surprising everyone with his ability to feel the fear and do it anyway. He has returned to old hobbies and clubs and has generally got his sparkle back. Thank you to everyone on the team 💚

"Steps along a path but it feels like the right road at last"

We have just completed the second stage of the anxiety recovery program by Youngvibes. Both our children for different reasons developed anxiety which led to school refusal. In Dec 2024 we found Youngvibes and started the program. The support and experience really shines through when you meet the Youngvibes team. There is daily support via videos, zooms sessions for parents and also for the children with peers so they can form support networks. There are 1-1 sessions available for bespoke advice and this has all led to improvements in how our children are dealing with anxiety. Steps along a path but it feels like the right road at last.

"We have completed the Bee part of the…"

We have completed the Bee part of the programme and I now cant wait to get the kids involved too. It has been an eye opener and a wake up call for how things were and how they can be. It is definitely hard work, seeing how I was making things worse and then being more aware of my behaviour and it's impact. Yes it's still a learning curve and I make mistakes but Hannah is there, (every day if you need it!) to pull you back up and coach you through the programme.

"The life line we needed"

🐝
I have just finished the Bee portal. It has been one of the most eye opening, confronting and rewarding things I have ever done.
All our lives from before we started to now have changed completely, we are all in a better mindset. We have come back together as a family and played games, had kitchen discos and laughed.

Myself and my son were in a daily battle of trying to get to school and failing most days. I would go to work feeling like a failure and a bad mother, he would be at home with my mum exhausted, depressed, anxious, upset, also feeling like a failure and like he was letting everyone down. My poor mum was picking up the broken pieces and aftermath each day and struggling with her own health. My son struggled with separation anxiety, social anxiety, so it wasn’t just school it was constant. We had tried all sorts of counselling, journals, books and nothing helped. There was no light at the end of the tunnel, I was scared for the future.
Then I took the chance on Young Vibes…..

The program is hard, you need commitment and determination. There are ups and downs but the support from Hannah is unbelievable, I never felt like a failure in the group zooms, there was nothing but kindness and the occasional bit of tough love.

Don’t go into this thinking it will be easy, it won’t be. But I promise if you put the work in it will be worth it.

"Our house is much calmer"

We are coming to the end of the Bee portal and have noticed our home is much calmer. It has taken slightly longer than we hoped, almost two steps forward and three steps back, but I think we are now ready for our daughter to engage in the programme.

There was a moment where, due to outside influences with bullying/police involvement, which nearly unpicked all the work we had done with our daughter at home, I almost gave up. However, with Sam's phrase in mind, 'if you do what you always did, you will get what you always had' in mind, alongside the support from Hannah on the Zoom calls, we persevered.

The programme starts with the parents, and I have learnt so much about myself because of this. I now know I was part of the problem, and my daughter has likely been mirroring me. By learning about anxiety and its impact/behaviours, I have been able to reset myself, which has massively improved the way I react to my daughter. I have stopped being drawn in and ignoring her outbursts, which has sometimes infuriated her, but I have pushed through. She is still a hormonal teenager, but it feels different at home, and she has noticed a change, too. I look forward to progressing through the programme and for our daughter to start her journey on pollen.
