When a child is persistently absent, it’s often a sign of a deeper struggle. It can be easy to focus on the ‘problem behaviour’, but what if we shifted our focus to the underlying thoughts and feelings driving it?

In this free webinar, Sam Garner, a highly-respected Wellbeing and Cognitive Specialist and former SENCo, will share an insightful new perspective on tackling attendance issues. You’ll discover how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides a powerful framework for understanding and supporting children who struggle to attend school.

Sam’s unique expertise in mental health and neurodivergence will guide you through:

• Understanding the ‘why’ behind emotionally-based school non-attendance.

• How simple yet effective CBT-based activities are ideal for use with this issue.

• Techniques to foster a growth mindset and emotional regulation in your students.

• Practical steps for building trust and partnership with the students and families who need it most.

Move beyond frustration and into action. This webinar will provide you with the practical strategies and compassionate understanding to help your most vulnerable students.
