Supporting Children with Anxiety and Emotional School Avoidance

We warmly invite parents and carers to join us for an insightful and supportive session focused on anxiety in the context of school attendance and emotional school-based avoidance.

The session will be led by Nicole Wareing, Clinical Mental Health Practitioner with CAMHS, alongside Angie, a parent with lived experience who has navigated the challenges of supporting a child with SEND and mental health difficulties. Angie brings her perspective as a peer support work for CAMHS.

Together, Nicole and Angie will share:

• Real-life experiences of managing school-related anxiety
• Practical strategies to support children and young people
• Guidance on accessing help and resources

This is a safe and welcoming space for parents and carers to learn, connect, and feel empowered.
