Funded by Kummit charity Kummit through HUS, the largest

health care provider in Finland.
Over the original and extension projects,
more than 500 psychologists have been
trained to provide Cool Kids in hospital and
community clinics, using both group and
individual therapy. Fifty of these providers
have since gone on to be trained in the
Cool Kids Autism Program.
In the initial stage of the project, a core
group of senior psychologists were trained
in a live workshop and then participated in
12 months of supervision as they learned to
implement Cool Kids. Following this, this
core group were supported to be able to
deliver approved training to psychologists
throughout Finland. These newly trained
providers participated in a 12 month
supervision program run by the senior Cool
Kids Finnish team. Our Australian team
continued to provide regular supervision to

the Finnish supervisor group advising them
on managing cases and newly trained
providers.
The project also provided opportunities for
continued education on the Cool Kids
program. In 2023 a Cool Kids Day was held
where both presentations and practical
tasks were provided that extended the skills
of more than 200 of the providers. Another
of these days is occurring in May 2025 with
remote presentations from our team in

4. Description of the content of the training programme/intervention
The tenderer presents his/her vision of the content of the training (topics to be covered and
learning outcomes) and the timetable.
The Cool Kids Anxiety Management Program
The primary objective of the suite of Cool Kids Anxiety Programs is to help young people (and
their caregivers) to manage anxiety and related emotional distress. It teaches the young
person practical, applicable skills to help them to reduce anxious responding and overcome
heightened anxiety and/or anxiety disorders. The parent or carer of the young person are also
shown ways to support their child by understanding the skills that the young people are taught,
but importantly parents are also supported to learn strategies that will change how they interact
with their child during anxious moments. The Cool Kids skills reflect cognitive behavioural
theories, with each skill chosen to directly address a factor that is known to maintain excessive
anxiety in children and adolescents.
Cool Kids providers are supported to run the program by detailed therapist guidelines, session
support materials and extensive initial training. Client focused materials include for 7-12 year
old the Cool Kids Child Workbook, for 12-17 year olds the Chilled Teen Workbook and for
parents the Cool Kids Chilled Parent Workbook which covers both age groups. Therapist
guidelines include options for presenting the program to groups of families and to individual
families. In both of these approaches the anxious child or teen attends sessions with their
parent(s). In addition, there are also guidelines for settings such as schools where parent
attendance at all sessions is difficult. Through the materials and training, providers gain an
understanding of how to adapt the program for children who are concurrently experiencing
other difficulties and when to prioritise other issues.
Research Support
We have scientifically evaluated the Cool Kids program over 30 years of clinical trials. A review
(Mychailyszyn, 2017) identified 16 studies that have directly evaluated Cool Kids programs,
with additional studies published since (see attachment 3 for a list of published research). The
bulk of these studies have been rigorous clinical trials following best-practice guidelines (e.g.
CONSORT) and also provide replicated evidence from independent clinics and schools around
the world.
This broad research base has consistently shown that Cool Kids produces significant change
compared to waitlist conditions and alternative treatments. In addition to reductions in anxiety
symptoms and anxiety disorders, outcomes from participation in Cool Kids include: 1)
increased resilience to life adversity; 2) improvements in confident and assertive behaviour
along with reduced victimisation; 3) improved peer interactions and connectedness and
increased school attendance.
Cool Kids programs have been adopted and conducted in more than 25 countries around the
world, including more than a dozen translations. Experts in these countries have seen no need
to change the skills or delivery style of the program, with cultural adjustments to specific
examples being made to ensure relevance to the culture and environs of each language.
Outcomes across populations have been excellent, with published data from Turkey, Greece,
Denmark, and Norway, to name a few.
9
Variations of the Cool Kids Program
From the standard Cool Kids program, several population specific versions have been
developed. These include the Cool Little Kids program for parents of anxious 3-6 year olds,
the Cool Kids Online and Chilled Out Online programs that are delivered to families via the
internet in their homes and supported by therapist led support calls and the Cool Kids Autism
Adaptation which adapts the Cool Kids skills in ways that support the common experiences
and support needs of autistic young people and their families. Additional versions are under
development that focus on the teens who present with both anxiety and depression and on
children and teens who present with significant health symptoms related to their anxiety.
Training and Accreditation Proposal
The Cool Kids Training and Accreditation process is specifically designed to address two
stages of learning. Stage 1 is designed to introduce a suitably qualified professional to
effectively identify anxious children and adolescents, and provide treatment using strategies
that address the cognitive, behavioural and family factors that maintain anxiety. At the end of
stage 1 an accreditation process takes place which involves evaluation and feedback of a
professional's ability to apply the key skills introduced in the training to ensure that they are
ready to implement Cool Kids for the first time. Stage 2 is designed to support accredited
providers as they implement the program. This stage includes access to supervisory support,
implementation resources and further training.
Topics in the stage 1 standard training
The training program for Cool Kids has been refined over more than 20 years. The same
materials and activities are presented in our live training (in-person on via Teams/Zoom) and
in our eTraining course (asynchronous online). The training assumes that participants are
psychologists, allied health or education professionals who have had training in basic cognitive
behavioural therapy and in working with children, adolescents and families.
The learning outcomes for the stage 1 standard Cool Kids training include:
- Understanding how to identify and assess anxiety in youth
- Understanding what research has told us about what maintains anxiety
- Understanding how the Cool Kids skills fit with the model of maintenance
- Developed ability to apply the Cool Kids skills to a range of anxiety presentations
- Awareness of common challenges that arise when implementing Cool Kids and knowing
appropriate strategies to address these concerns
The stage 1 training covers the following content:
Title Topics Covered
Module 1: What is Anxiety - Characteristics of anxiety in children and teens
- The different types of anxiety and their key underlying
cognitions
- Why intervene?
Module 2: Assessing Anxiety - Recommendations for assessment

In live training, the modules are presented over one full day or two half day workshops. In the
eTraining, the content is presented in pre-recorded videos.
Activities that support learning
In both the workshop and eTraining approaches to Cool Kids training there is an emphasis on
providing opportunities to see the programs in action using video or audio recordings of
sessions, and for discussion of examples, and application of the skills to common case
presentations. Participants are expected to work individually or in small groups to consider
written cases and use the core Cool Kids worksheets to apply newly learnt skills to those cases.
Discussion of ideas from the participants are contrasted with real life examples that were
created in sessions for each of the core Cool Kids skills.
11
Accreditation Process
After the stage 1 training, each individual participant must complete assessment tasks. These
assessments include:
1. A multi-choice knowledge quiz on the content of the training and Cool Kids therapist
kit.
2. Written response to 4 questions, one for each of the core skills included in the training.
These questions are completed based on a provided set of case studies. These
responses are marked by our very experienced supervisors who provide individual
written feedback.
3. Viewing of a webinar which provides detailed reflection of common issues that arise
when responding to the case studies and ideal answers based on case studies set 1.
4. Written response to the same 4 questions using a second set of case studies where
the feedback received on the first set can be implemented to reach the required
standard.
Each participant must achieve a score of 80% on the multi-choice quiz and on each of the 4
questions in the case studies. When this is achieved the participant is issued a Cool Kids
Accredited Provider certificate and a licence to use the standard Cool Kids program for 5 years.
Stage 2 Training and Post Accreditation Support
Post accreditation support for all individual Cool Kids Accredited Providers is available for a
period of 5 years (after which a licence renewal is needed). The standard support includes
access to the Cool Kids Accredited Provider Website and drop-in supervision sessions held
online.
• The Cool Kids Accredited Provider Website includes a range of treatment support
resources such as printable posters of key visuals to use during sessions, frequently asked
questions that address common challenges that arise during treatment and additional
webinars that present advanced material on using the standard Cool Kids Program with
particular client characteristics, comorbidities or presenting problems.
• The drop-in supervision sessions are held 10 times per year, and allow providers to join a
live, online session where providers can ask an experienced Cool Kids supervisor,
questions regarding implementation of Cool Kids. These questions typically relate to
specific cases that providers are working with, or organisation/practical issues within their
specific context in a school, hospital or community setting.
The learning objectives for stage 2 are advanced understanding of key issues experienced
when implementing Cool Kids and improved knowledge of how to address these issues.
For Estonia we are proposing that in addition to the above support, that we hold six group
supervision sessions exclusively for the newly accredited providers trained under this tender.
We have taken this approach in both Slovenia and Finland and these teams found the focused
support invaluable in the early days of implementing Cool Kids. These sessions would be led
by either Dr Lyneham or Dr Kelly who collectively have more than 20 years’ experience in
supervising implementation of Cool Kids.
Following accreditation in the standard Cool Kids Program, providers have the option to
complete additional training in other programs from the Cool Kids Suite. These currently
include Cool Little Kids (for parents of anxious 3-6 year olds) and Cool Kids Autism (an
adaptation of Cool Kids that accounts for the common learning needs and unique challenges
that present in anxious, Autistic youth).
12
Proposed Training Timetable
Prior to beginning the training, the Cool Kids materials will need to be translated and printed
so that they can be available during the training. Specific dates can be set once the contracts
are signed and the translations underway.
Due to the time difference between Estonia and Australia we would be suggesting two half
days workshops for the training, from 9am to 12.30pm in Estonia. The following are suggested
timeframes, and will be negotiated to suit both parties.
TIMING TASK

For the 10 pilot accredited providers, their licence to deliver Cool Kids is valid for 5 years.
Additional funding would be needed to cover the cost of the rights to print workbook sets for
any family who they deliver the program for (AU$7 per set) and for any ongoing group
supervision that may be requested from 2026 onwards.
If further specialists are nominated for training in Cool Kids, this can be done via our fully online
eTraining and Accreditation option which would allow additional specialists to become Cool
Kids Accredited within 3-8 weeks of payment (depending on how quickly they work through
the materials). In 2025 the cost of this option is AU$750 per trainee (where the therapist kit will
be printed at the site due to using a translation).
Both the pilot and any future participants may also choose to complete add-on training in other
programs from within the Cool Kids Suite at an additional cost.

Technical specification
Technical specification
1. Background information and training need
One of the goals of Estonia’s long-term development strategy ‘Estonia 2035’ is a caring society,
where everyone has the opportunity for self-fulfilment throughout their lives, with the necessary
support network for this being guaranteed. Based on the Welfare Developmental Plan 2023-
2030 1, there are shortcomings in several areas – on the one hand, there are perceived gaps
in national standards for general casework, and on the other, there are no measures to provide
needs-based assistance to different target groups. There are few comprehensive services for
people with specific needs, and many services are linked to the severity of the disability, which
reduces the possibilities for proactive and rapid assistance.
The vision for reforming the rehabilitation system is the integration of the provision of
rehabilitative interventions for people with special needs with health services, offering services
aimed at restoring and maintaining function as health-related services. In order to support the
fulfilment of this objective and to provide better targeted assistance to people’s needs, the
Ministry of Social Affairs, in cooperation with its partners, has carried out an analysis, which,
among other things, included descriptions of the target groups of beneficiaries of rehabilitation
services, the conducting of workshops to map their needs, and cooperation with the
Association of Rehabilitation Institutions and service providers.
The analysis shows that people with mental health problems need better targeted support and
help. According to the World Health Organization, the global prevalence of anxiety disorders
is 3.6%, and is higher in women than in men (4.6% vs 2.6%). In comparison with other
countries in Europe, the prevalence of anxiety disorders in Estonia is above average.1
What distinguishes a mental health disorder from transient negative emotions is that the
disturbing feelings and corresponding behaviours do not go away, but start to interfere with
everyday life. The most common mental health disorders are depression and anxiety disorder.
An anxiety disorder involves constant and prolonged anxiety, which manifests itself as
excessive worrying and which does not go away once the stressful situation has ended. This
can be accompanied by a number of bodily complaints, such as sweating and shortness of
breath. The most serious consequence of depression is the risk of suicide, with indicators such
as suicidal thoughts, a suicide plan, etc.2.
Situation in Estonia
The results of the Estonian National Mental Health Survey indicate a high prevalence of mental
health problems in the Estonian population. Self-reported estimates suggest that around a
quarter of adults are at risk of depression, and one in five of adults are at risk of generalised
anxiety disorder, with a significantly higher risk among young adults. According to the register
survey, nearly a quarter of adults had at least one mental disorder diagnosis in the period
2016–2021, with depression (12.4%) and anxiety disorders (9.8%) being the most common.
The risk of depression and anxiety disorder has increased compared to the pre-pandemic
period (2019).

Welfare Development Plan 2023-2030.pdf

The prevalence of anxiety disorder, depression, and suicide risk among young people in
Estonia is also high, with the results of the Health Survey showing that among adolescents,
mental health problems are particularly high among girls. Nearly half of girls aged 15–17 are
at risk of depression (54.4% of girls, 28.1% of boys) and generalised anxiety disorder (50% of
girls, 15.7% of boys). Estonia has the highest suicide rate among children and adolescents
aged 10–19 years, and among those who have attempted suicide, the proportion of people
with a mental disorder, including depression, is very high, up to 74%.
2. Small-scale procurement
Preventing mental health problems is cheaper and more effective than treating the problems
and dealing with the consequences..3 The aim of this procurement is to provide evidence-
based interventions based on health conditions and training for the implementation of
interventions targeting children aged 7–17 years with anxiety disorders. The intervention must
be suitable for implementing both individually and in groups, and the parents of the child must
be involved in the activities. Intervention should also be adaptable to young people of different
ages and with special needs. More detailed requirements on the objectives of the intervention
in clause 2.2.
The aim of the training is to equip professionals with the skills and competences to implement
evidence-based intervention to support children with anxiety disorders and their families. The
training must include theoretical and interactive components and end with the accreditation of
the specialist.
Intervention training will be commissioned and co-funded within the conditions for granting
support within the framework of the European Union’s European Social Fund+ ‘Developing
services for children with a substantial and diverse need for help’. The aim of the project is to
support the coping of children in need and their families – currently there are a limited number
of services for children with special needs and these are also linked to the determination of the
severity of disability, which makes it more difficult for families to access the necessary support.
2.1. The scope of training and the target group
The tenderer will prepare and deliver the training on the implementation of an intervention,
providing participants with information and training on the content of the intervention and its
implementation. Training also includes materials and learning how to use them.
The target group for intervention training includes specialists from the field of mental health
(mental health nurses, psychologists), social work, or education, who have completed an
introductory course in cognitive-behavioral therapy.
The group size is up to 10 people. The contracting authority has the right to change the size
of the group (reduce/increase). In case the group size changes by a maximum of 3 participants
due to valid reasons, the training provider will be notified at least 5 working days before the
start of the training.
2.2. Intervention, its content and the learning outcomes of the course
Intervention and its training must include the following components:
• Supports children, youth (age group 7–17) and their family in understanding the nature
of anxiety and its physiological components;
16
• Teaches skills on managing anxiety and coping in different situations;
• Supports an increase in the child’s self-confidence and reduces avoidance behaviour.
After completing the training, the participant shall be able to implement an intervention,
through which:
• Children and their families learn to recognise anxiety and know the effects it has on
the body and behaviour;
• Know how to use techniques to help them calm down;
• Support the child in the use of coping skills to deal with different anxiety-provoking
situations.
2.3. Theoretical and interactive parts
In addition to the theoretical approach, the training must encourage and enable the active
involvement of participants in order to achieve learning outcomes through experience. The
structure of the training is designed with an emphasis on actively engaging activities (e.g.
discussion, exercises, games, group work, etc.).
If possible, representatives of the contracting authority will participate as observers (unless
otherwise agreed) to answer the questions of the participants. The exact duration will be
agreed upon by the contracting authority with the trainer.
2.4. Follow-up support:
After the end of the training, the owner of the intervention and the provider of the training must
ensure that there is follow-up support for the intervention implementers in Estonia, either in the
form of supervision, consultations or other forms, at least once a month, for the duration of the
pilot project.
2.5. Further specifications:
• Language. The training will be carried out in the English language. If necessary, the
contracting authority will arrange for a translation of the training.
• In case the service provider requires the back-and-forth translation of materials, we
also ask for their willingness to clarify and comment on the translation if needed.
Information and registration of participants, feedback. The contracting authority is
responsible for the notification of the target audience, the pre-selection of the training
groups, and the registration of the training. The contractor prepares and forwards to
the contracting authority the information that must be communicated to the contracting
authority (presentation of the programme, agenda, other information necessary for
participation).
• Venue for the training and catering. For the participants attending the training in
Estonia, the contracting authority will provide the training venue and catering according
to the agenda, despite the training being conducted in an online environment.
• Observation Representatives of the contracting authority may attend the seminars as
observers.

delivery-acceptance, does not deliver the work by the deadline, does not perform the work
properly, fails to provide the customer with information regarding the fulfilment of the contract, etc.
9.1.2. If the contractor is in breach of a contractual obligation which can be cured, the customer has the

of the breach, etc, but usually no more than 5 (five) business days) to eliminate the breach. Making
the described precept only applies in the case of such breaches where the customer considers it
reasonable due to the nature of the obligation and if they are interested in curing the breach. If
the contractor does not comply with the precept within the specified time limit, the contractor must
pay the customer contractual penalty of 0.5% (zero point five percent) of the contract price for
each delayed day.
9.1.3. If the contractor exceeds the deadline agreed upon in the contract for the performance or delivery

is not interested in having the breach cured, or if the contractor does not eliminate the breach
within the time limit specified in the customer’s precept referred to in clause 9.1.2 of the general
terms of the contract, or if the contractor does not commence performance of the contract, the
customer has the right to claim a contractual penalty from the contractor of 20% (twenty percent)
of the contract price for each breach.

(one thousand five hundred) euros for each breach. Upon termination of the contract under this
clause, the customer pays the contractor for the work performed only if the customer has an
interest in partial performance of the contract.
9.1.6. Extraordinary unilateral termination of the contract does not deprive the customer of the right to
claim a contractual penalty or a compensation for damage from the contractor. If the contract
allows for a contractual penalty to be claimed for the same breach under multiple provisions, the
customer has the right to decide under which provision they will claim the contractual penalty.
9.1.7. Upon payment for the works, the customer has the right to reduce the contract price by the amount
of a contractual penalty.

obligations, and the claim for contractual penalty does not affect the customer’s right to
additionally require the contractor to fulfil the obligation and compensate for damage.
9.2. The contractor undertakes to compensate for all costs and damages incurred by the customer in
connection with deficiencies in the works performed by the contractor Liability of the customer:
9.2.1. If the customer is in delay in fulfilling their financial obligations set out in the contract, the

(zero point zero five percent) of the overdue amount per day, but not more than 20% (twenty
percent) of the contract price.
9.3. Failure to fulfil or improper fulfilment of the obligations arising from the contract will not be
considered a breach of the contract if it has been caused by force majeure. The parties consider
4
as force majeure the circumstances specified in subsection 2 of § 103 of the Law of Obligations
Act. The party whose actions in the performance of its obligations under the contract are hindered
due to force majeure is required to notify the other party thereof immediately in writing or in a format
which can be reproduced in writing. Upon occurrence of force majeure circumstances, the final due
date of the contract is extended by the period during which the said circumstances occur. When
the circumstances of force majeure cease to exist, the party must resume the performance of its
contractual obligations. If, due to force majeure circumstances, the party’s performance of the
obligations arising from the contract is prevented for more than 60 (sixty) calendar days in a row,
either party may terminate the contract.
10. Transmission of notices and authorised representatives
10.1. Notices are generally transmitted by telephone, email or post. If the transmission of the notice
gives rise to significant legal consequences, the notices to the other party must be transmitted in
writing, including contract termination declarations by the parties, as well as claims for contractual
penalty, penalty for late payment or compensation of damage. A digitally signed form is equivalent
to a written form.
10.2. Any notices related to the contract are communicated to the other party using the contact details
specified in the contract. A party is obliged to immediately notify the other party of a change in
contact details. If a party has changed their contact details during the validity period of the contract
and has not informed the other party thereof in a form reproducible in writing, the notice is deemed
to have been received by the party if it has been sent to the most recently notified contact details
of that party.
10.3. A written notice is deemed to have been received if it has been delivered against a signature or
sent via post office by registered mail at least 5 (five) calendar days ago to the address indicated
by the receiving party. Upon sending notices by email, including digitally signed documents, the
notice is deemed to have been received at the time indicated in the notice of receipt or at the time
of sending indicated in the email.
10.4. The authorised representatives of the parties are appointed in the special terms of the contract.
The authorised representative of the customer has the right to represent the customer in all matters
related to the performance of the contract, except for amending the contract (including increasing
the scope of the contract, changing the object or duration of the contract, etc), termination of the
contract, and filing claims for contractual penalty, penalty for late payment or compensation for
damage.

contract or infringes those rights, the customer will notify the contractor, who must immediately take
all necessary measures to enable the use of the rights arising from the contract and to cease the
infringement of the customer's rights. If the contractor takes such measures, the customer will
cooperate with them to the necessary extent.
11.4 If a claim is filed against the customer due to a copyright infringement that occurred during the
performance of the works (other than due to an act of the customer), the contractor is liable for the
damages incurred by the customer.
12. Confidentiality
12.1. During the period of validity of the contract and for an indefinite period after the expiry thereof, the
contractor undertakes to keep confidential any information the contractor has learned in connection
with the performance of the contract. In particular, but not only, the contractor undertakes to keep
confidential the data contained in the contract, the documents provided for the performance of the
contract and in other documents, the content of which the contractor has had the opportunity to
become familiar with in connection with the performance of the contract, and also any other data
which the customer presumably has a legitimate interest in keeping confidential.
12.2. Confidential information may only be disclosed to third parties if the customer has granted
permission for this in a format which can be reproduced in writing. The confidentiality requirement
set out in the contract does not extend to the disclosure of information to the auditors, attorneys,
and banks of the parties and to cases where the party is obliged to disclose information as required
by legislation. The contractor confirms that they are aware that the contract is public to the extent
provided by the Public Information Act.
12.3. The contractor undertakes to comply with organisational, physical, and IT security measures to
protect confidential data against accidental or intentional unauthorised alteration, accidental or
intentional destruction, disclosure, etc.

prior consent granted in a form reproducible in writing. Only notices the text of which has been
agreed with the customer in advance may be published.

in addition to those provided for in the contract in cases and pursuant to the procedure provided by
law.

nature, are effective even after termination of the contract (eg confidentiality obligation, agreements
regarding the intellectual property rights applicable to materials).
13.4. The parties have agreed that the parties have the right to assign the rights and obligations arising
from and related to the contract to third parties only with the prior consent of the other party granted
in a format reproducible in writing. Assignment of rights and obligations to a third party within the
meaning of this provision is not a transfer of rights and obligations arising from and related to the
contract by the customer to another state authority or state-owned company.
13.5. This contract is governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia. If any provision of this contract
proves to be in conflict with the legislation effective in Estonia, it does not affect the validity of the
remaining provisions. If the described case involves imperative provisions that cannot be agreed
upon otherwise, the provisions that are in conflict with legislation will be brought into compliance
6
with the applicable regulation at the first opportunity.
13.6. Any disputes related to the contract which the parties have failed to resolve through negotiation
shall be referred to Harju County Court.

general terms are deemed to have taken effect from the extension of the contract.
13.8. The general terms have been drawn up on 6 (six) pages.
