The Turnaround Program

Supporting Research

The most objective of the reasons we listed as to why Turnaround is effective is the research. The results of the random controlled trials (RCT) were VERY strong regarding the effectiveness of Turnaround. Here are some summary highlights:

1. The Turnaround anxiety program was effective in: (a) reducing the clinical severity rating of the primary diagnosis, (b) decreasing the number of diagnoses held (see point 4 below), (c) improving overall level of functioning, (d) reducing child and parent reports of anxiety symptoms, and (e) reducing the experience of anxiety.

2. For all measures, these improvements were either maintained or improved upon at 3-month follow-up.

3. The percentage of children free from their primary diagnosis is comparable to that found in traditional face-to-face CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) for child anxiety.

4. Children often have more than one anxiety diagnosis. The results from this research suggest that Turnaround is not only able to reduce primary anxiety diagnoses, but comorbid disorders (occurring at the same time) as well, with 66.67% of the children being free from any diagnosis at 3-month follow-up.

Does it Really Work?

We are all familiar with products and services that make claims that are exaggerated or false just to sell a product. We imagine many of you feel that same cautious skepticism about Turnaround. We don’t blame you. This is about your child and you may be at your wits’ end. The last thing you need is to spend money or get your hopes up on something useless.

In the psychological field there will never be a treatment or program that is 100% effective in every situation. If you get a significant improvement from a specific treatment 60-70% of the time then you can be confident that it is extraordinarily effective. Like with any treatment, we know that Turnaround will not help everyone and every kind of anxiety disorder. However, we do know that it is quite effective.

Here is our evidence:

1. It is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that has impressive amounts of research supporting its effectiveness for treating anxiety.

2. Turnaround was subjected to the rigors of a both a randomized controlled study (considered the most conclusive kind of research) as well as several case studies. (see above)

3. Parents and kids tell us over and over how it has changed their lives.

4. We have been doing this for years professionally and we are dads with formerly anxious kids.

5. It is a really good story. Seriously, we are still surprised how well it came out.

Benefits

A solution for children that refuse to go to school

If your child is refusing or resisting school, experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, worrying constantly, afraid of getting sick (emetophobia), in need of frequent reassurance, displaying OCD symptoms, avoiding social situations, or experiencing other types of anxious behavior, then Turnaround can help.

Get the benefit of receiving professional counseling in your home

The program was created by a psychologist and professional counselor who will guide your child with the help of other children, in the comfort of your own home. What a great option for your child!

Kids love listening to stories, especially when told by children

Kids speak to kids in our child anxiety treatment program. Your child will hear a lot from other kids, including the main characters in the Turnaround story and also from experiences of other children telling their stories of overcoming fear.

Your child will bond with the children and characters in the story

They will feel a part of a group that understands their struggles, and work to imitate the success they hear being accomplished by the children in the story. The human brain mirrors desirable behavior so this format works powerfully with children.

In just a few weeks, you could see a significant difference in your child's anxiety!

We created Turnaround to fill a huge need for children with anxiety. Turnaround is unlike anything you would imagine as a therapeutic tool. It is wildly creative yet a clinically sound step-by-step treatment program. Compared to other options, Turnaround is practical, affordable and proven effective. If your child is refusing or resisting school, experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, worrying constantly, afraid of getting sick (emetophobia), needing frequent reassurance, displaying OCD symptoms, avoiding social situations, or experiencing other types of anxious behavior then Turnaround can help

Where do we start? The success our child has had with your program is beyond words at this point. The first 3 weeks of school this year were of the greatest stress that my wife and I have ever experienced. So many things in her life may have been eliminated or avoided had we not come across your program. Thank you for all you have done as we are so blessed to have come across the Turnaround program.
