This online Seminar will take a look at tips and tools to support both children and teens who struggle with attending school. This is referred to as school can’t but was previously known as school refusal. Rebecca will help participants to not only thoroughly understand school can’t, where it comes from and why children and teens struggle, but also strategies to help parents, educators and other professionals to provide the best support to the child or teen in their life.  

For parents this will provide you the opportunity to understand and support their child, with strategies that you can take away and effectively use immediately. 

For educators or other professionals working with young people, this will give you tools and information that can be used in the classroom, clinic, and other non-home environments to create best outcomes and assist the child or teen to achieve a bright and successful future.
