School Avoidance–Parent Workshop Kit

Getting Back to School is a free, ready-to-run workshop kit that helps school counselors talk with parents and guardians about school avoidance. In a 30-minute session, families learn what school avoidance looks like, why it happens, and practical ways to help their child get back to class, from calmer mornings to working with the school as a team. The kit includes a presentation with speaker notes, a presenter guide for planning and follow-up, a two-page parent handout in English and Spanish, and follow-up cards so families can ask for a conversation about their child before they leave.
