Informed Therapy Resources was formed in 2008 by Dr. Chris McCarthy and Dr. David Russ. ITR's mission is to develop innovative psychological resources. The initial product was an audio program to help children with anxiety called Turnaround: Turning Fear Into Freedom. Turnaround is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is the first product of its kind because it is designed specifically for a child listener. Additional products are in the planning and development stage.
