Webinar: The complexity of school refusal - 14 May, 7pm - 8.30pm
If your child is struggling to attend school, you’re not alone. School Refusal—or as some call it, School Can’t—is a growing challenge affecting many families across all school settings.
Join us for a webinar where experts will explore the complexities of school attendance difficulties. Featuring panellist’s from KYDS, EPIC and Youth Up Front, the webinar will examine factors involved, the anxiety cycle's impact on attendance, and strategies for early intervention. It will also cover school initiatives aimed at supporting students and provide guidance on available resources and services for families.
Designed for parents and carers of children aged 10–16 (approx. Years 5–10), as well as educators, social service providers, and community members.
