School Avoidance Support Plan

Service Description

🔹 YOU’RE NOT ALONE 🔹 School avoidance is not defiance. 🔹If your child is struggling to attend school, you may be seeing: Morning distress or shutdown Physical symptoms (headaches, nausea, fatigue) Increasing anxiety or withdrawal Refusal that feels sudden or escalating 🔹This is not about behaviour, it’s a nervous system response to overwhelm, stress, or unmet needs. You don’t need to push harder. You need the right support plan. 🔹HOW I HELP - A different approach to school avoidance I work with families and schools to understand why your child is struggling, and create a plan that supports: Emotional safety Regulation and capacity Gradual, sustainable re-engagement This is not a one-size-fits-all program. It is a bespoke, child-centred support plan. 🔹WHAT’S INCLUDED - What you’ll receive ✔ 1.
