Psych., Specialist in Clinical Psychology, who is employed at the Counselling Centre for Children, Adolescents and Parents in Ljubljana.

In his lecture, Dr. Janjušević presented the Cool Kids program, designed to help children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 manage anxiety. The presentation covered the program’s foundations, key interventions, and empirical evidence supporting its effectiveness, both internationally and in Slovenia.

Attendees had the opportunity to personally experience some of the program’s key therapeutic techniques, such as realistic thinking and exposure planning, which form the basis for facing fears “head-on.”
