  • Understanding School Refusal

    Are you wondering why your teenager is struggling to get to school, are you confused why school suddenly seems so hard. School refusal looks at what is happening for a teenager when they become overwhelmed and find it impossible to consider going to school. Taking the perspective of support and understanding we look at the term school refusal and how parents can understand this teenage presentation as something to be explored and understood.
