When school feels too much

When a young person struggles to get to school, or stay there, there's often more going on than we can see. Anxiety, sensory overwhelm, friendships or the school environment can all make getting through the day feel incredibly hard.

Our School Can’t Hub offers practical, neuroaffirming tools for parents, schools and clinicians to understand what’s making school difficult and find support that fits.

The signs aren’t always missed daysTummy aches on Sunday nights, exhaustion after school, or holding it together at school and falling apart at home can all be early clues. Our free check-in helps you organise what you’ve noticed, and what to explore next.
