Cool Kids Taking Control Online Program for Children Experiencing Bullying and Anxiety.

This study is a randomised clinical trial with two conditions: Cool Kids - Taking Control (Treatment) and Treatment-as-Usual (Control). Eligible participants aged 7-12 years in the treatment group will gain immediate access to a 10-week online intervention based on the evidence-based Cool Kids program. Children and their participating parent/s will receive instruction on how to use the online platform and will be informed that they can log in to the program as many times as they like during the week. They are encouraged to work through all of the weekly session content in the week that it is assigned so that they are then ready to move on to the next session. Program content will be released to families on a weekly, incremental basis and families will be informed that they can access current and previous weeks content for the entire intervention period. Both child and parent session content is provided through the online program. The online program is interactive and is in the form of short videos with characters, voice-overs, wording (similar to a PowerPoint with sound) and downloadable handouts that assist in explaining and practising the session material. Weekly therapist support will be provided to the participating parent/s via brief (20 minute) scheduled telephone calls. This support will assist families in understanding program content, problem-solving and address any questions related to program material.
