School Anxiety

Service Description

This online group session aims to explore the issue of serious anxiety in children about attending school. Many children, of all ages, have become extremely anxious about attending school. This situation was aggravated by 'lockdown' during the Covid years, resulting in an ever increasing number of children finding it too emotionally challenging to go to school. The longer children are out of school, the harder it becomes for them to re-integrate back into the educational system. This session aims to give some practical advice and information to help parents encourage their children back to school, focussing on understanding, helpful language and ways to support self-control over strong emotions.
