;one session per week during a period of four weeks with high quality content. The sessions will be performed at CAP location in Lund. The treatment will be performed by a clinician at CAP who could be a doctor, psychologist or health counselor - all with cognitive behavioral therapy competence. The sessions will be in group settings, separately for children and parents. In that sense, children will be included in a group with other children and parents will be included in a group with other parents. Each group will have 1-2 therapists leading the program. The theme of the week will be the same for both parent and child group, although the delivery will potentially differ. We expect that a session will last approximately 90 min with a 15-minute coffee break included.
