They advertise on Facebook as Young Vibes, Your Child Freedom Formula, Peaky Parents, Anxiety, Our Formula, and various other names.

They use a 'high ticket' sales technique, where they offer a webinar and then urge you to book a call. The call is a high-pressure sales call.

They have changed their name quite a few times over the last year, after they were investigated by the Advertising Standards agency - www.asa.org.uk/rulings/tomwill--holdings--ltd-g21-1116080-tomwill--holdings--ltd.html, and they were featured in a BBC radio 4 documentary www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000zt9y

There are a few threads on the child mental health boards - here's one. www.mumsnet.com/talk/child_adolescent_mental_health/4239684-your-child-freedom-formula-has-anyone-tried-it?page=1

On the threads there are people from 'both sides', including some who have been through the program, so it's well worth having a read if you are thinking of making the call.

They claim to fully recover children from ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia. They say all of these are labels put on children who are simply suffering from an anxiety disorder, which is a hormonal disorder and not a mental health condition.

ASD, ADHD and dyslexia are not mental health conditions.

As a group lead for parents and carers of children and young people with mental health issues I advise you to save your money and find qualified professionals, or look for your local free parent peer support group to connect with and find resources, support and training. The place network on the Charlie Waller Trust is a great place to find one locally to you!

Thanks for this. Hoping that keeping their name out there will help when people come to google them. FYI, for anyone who reads the first thread and sees all the deletions. It’s because some posters and Sam, were posting under multiple names and pretending to be different people. They were pretending to be parents who had bought the programme and were happy with it. But it wasn’t real.
