The recent pandemic has impacted youth’s mental health.  Due to this impact, there are more students presenting with school refusal.  School refusal is a problem that is stressful for children, their families, and school personnel.  During this workshop participants will learn the distinction between truancy and school refusal while examining several psychological disorders that may be contributing factors.  Participants will not only understand the function of school refusal but will walk away with specific intervention strategies to support students who struggle with school attendance.
