School Refusal Program
School Refusal is Becoming A Bigger Issue Everyday
School refusal is becoming more common, and it can be incredibly stressful for both young people and their families. If your child is finding it hard to go to school and every morning feels like a battle, you don’t have to face it alone. Umbrella Counselling is here to support you and your young person through this challenging time.
What Umbrella Counselling Can Do to Help

Individualised Approach
The program is tailored to the unique needs of each family and student. It combines individual therapy, family therapy, and personalized tasks for the young person to complete outside of therapy sessions. If appropriate, the program also includes meetings and collaborative support with schools to help integrate the student back into the school environment.
Prevention of Long-Term Impacts
Early intervention is critical, as prolonged school refusal can have lasting consequences on a young person’s academic development and self-confidence. Addressing these issues before they become entrenched is essential to ensuring that students can build a foundation for future success and personal growth.
