Topic: Parenting Support Strategies: School Refusal
Presenter: Joanne Garfi, Psychologist
An information session for parents, teachers, youth workers
School refusal is a complex and common issue in our society affecting up to 5% of children, and is stressful for the child, their family and the school. The more time the child is away from school, the more difficult it is for the child to resume normal school life. If school refusal becomes an ongoing issue it can negatively impact the child’s social and educational development.
This information session will provide parents and teachers with an understanding of this complex issue and will provide them with a range of strategies they can use to assist their children back to school.
This information session will address:
- What is school refusal?
- How common is it?
- Types of school refusers.
- Why children refuse to go to school?
- The symptoms school refusers present with.
- Short and long term consequences of school refusal.
- Things to consider in assessment.
- What parents can do (practical strategies)
- What schools and other professionals can do
Joanne Garfi is a psychologist with 23 years experience and expertise in child and adolescent issues.
