101. How do we manage school avoidance? Part 2: Unpacking treatment

Welcome back to the next installment of the Back to School Success series. In today's episode, I jump into Part II of our exploration of School Avoidance, where I shift focus to treatment considerations. I discuss the necessity of adopting a comprehensive school-based approach and highlight the imperative to address the multifaceted needs of students, families, and schools.

Drawing from the resilience pyramid concept (https://drcarolinebuzanko.com/pyramidofresilience/), I emphasize the paramount importance of first establishing an optimal environment for students to thrive both at home and in the school setting. Specifically, we examine how we can transform schools into safe, welcoming, connected, and all-embracing spaces for our students.

Ensure you tune in to this week's episode to uncover any unaddressed needs that might be hindering progress. This episode will lay the groundwork for our upcoming discussion where I will delve into the essential skills students need to acquire, as well as the formulation of tailored re-entry plans.

And, if you're eager to embark on a more profound exploration with me and gain comprehensive insights into conducting a functional analysis and designing effective re-entry strategies for managing school avoidance, make sure you don't miss the opportunity to participate in my School Refusal training.
