For clinicians

You’re often the one they come to once things have already got hard.

By the time a family reaches you, there’s usually been a lot of trying: mornings that fall apart, meetings with the school, and a young person who has started to believe something is wrong with them. Your job is to make sense of it all and help everyone find a way forward.

These resources are built for that work. They’re neuroaffirming, practical, and designed to slot into sessions you’re already running.

Support the parents you’re working with…

When a young person can’t get to school, their parents are often carrying the most and getting the least guidance. Setting the Compass is our interactive guide for parents and carers navigating School Can’t. It helps them understand what’s happening for their child, notice their own stress, and map out a values-led way forward.

It fits neatly between sessions. Parents can work through it at their own pace, then bring what they noticed back to you so your sessions can build on it.

Two easy ways to get it to a family:

1Buy it for a family

Purchase it on a family’s behalf and pass the access details on to the parent or carer you’re working with.

2Send them the link

Families can buy their own access. Copy the link for an email, a text or your session notes.
