School Avoidance Workshops Autumn 2025
Please see attached flyer about a workshop on Emotionally Based School Avoidance.
The Roots are offering a free workshop for parents and carers in Waltham Forest to support children who struggle to attend school because of fears and worries. The workshop offers strategies for helping children manage anxiety about school.
Dates available: First Wednesday of the month (October; November; December)
Time: 10am - 12 noon
Parents/carers who book a place will be provided with a pre-workshop video to watch. The video will explain common feelings that children have about school that may be underneath the avoiding behaviours.
The 2-hour in-person workshop will build on the video learning to explore tools for overcoming fears and worries about school. Parents and carers will have opportunity to create an individualised action plan to support their child to feel more confident about going to school.
