Welcome to Our Self-Guided Online Course for Parents of Children with School Refusal

Supporting You and Offering Insight and Solutions

Dear parents,

Welcome to the School Refusal Recovery Course.  I know how tough it can be when your child struggles with school refusal. It can be frustrating and stressful, and you might feel like you're at your wit's end. But there's hope and this Course offers you just that.

This self-guided online course is designed specifically for parents and caregivers like you. We'll help you understand the complexities of school refusal, explore proven Psychological strategies which we'll teach you how to apply in your home, and get your child back to school with confidence.  You'll create your own Gradual Exposure Plan (also known as a Transition Plan) and work on your own circumstances throughout the Course, so it's tailored just for you.   Each written Lesson comes with audio and video at the bottom of each page so the whole course caters to all learning styles.

Each Lesson offers practical exercises and activities to help you apply the concepts to your child's specific situation.  The course is designed so that you can work on the strategies each week, put them into practice during that week, and progress through the Lessons as you learn and see real changes in your home.  If you'd like to work faster, that's okay, there's no restrictions, just remember some of these Lessons are quite heavy in Psychological Theory so take lots of breaks.  We'd suggest, one Lesson per day if you'd like to work faster.

A supportive community of parents just like you:

Connect with others who understand what you're going through. Share your experiences, offer support, and find encouragement along the way in both our Forum and our private School Refusal Recovery Facebook group. ❤️

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

Help your child overcome anxieties and fears surrounding school.
Build a strong and supportive relationship with your child.
Increase your child's confidence and self-esteem.
Facilitate your child's gradual return to school and academic success.
Feel empowered as a parent and take care of your own well-being.

So, are you ready to take that first step towards school refusal recovery? Get started today and let's help your child become braver and get them back to school.

Remember, we're here if you need help - you're not alone.

 

Warm regards,
