Individual counselling can really help you tackle any obstacles or problems that might be preventing you or your family from reaching your goals.
Communicate and process the feelings that your child’s school avoidance brings up, whether these are guilt, anger, overwhelm, confusion, doubt, or anything else.
Learn techniques for practicing self-care. This is important because you can’t effectively care for others while struggling yourself. Modelling good self-care to your child can also help them to learn ways to find balance and calm in their own lives.
Learn strategies that will help bring order and calm to your daily routine, putting to an end the stressful, conflict-ridden starts to many a morning.
Set realistic goals around actions you might take to support your student back to school or an alternative pathway.
Offer you a confidential space to share your challenges with an experienced counsellor.
While one on one counselling is very beneficial for anyone seeking support to make large changes in life, when it comes to school avoidance, families are strongly encouraged to also join the KNOTS Community for maximum benefit.
The opportunity to become part of a community that truly ‘gets’ you is priceless, and research indicates that group work and learning together is overwhelmingly beneficial for both parents and school avoidant students.
Please explore the benefits of our parent groups and student groups and remember that you’re welcome to join the KNOTS Community at any time in your journey.
