PBS is an evidence-based programme, developed by the Mental Health Foundation, found to improved focus and attention, enhance self-awareness and reduced stress.

The group will run from 4–5pm, starting Tuesday 6 August for 8 weeks at the Psychology Centre, University of Canterbury and requires both child and parent/caregiver to attend and learn together. The total cost of the program is $160.
