Does your child struggle to attend school due to stress, anxiety or bullying? Are you facing daily battles to get them out the door each morning? Join Rob Adams, PsyD from Barlow & Adams Behavioral Health and Rebekah Bryson, LISW, therapist and school social worker for Avon Local Schools, as they discuss the factors contributing to school avoidance both in and out of the classroom. Families will learn how to improve communication, adopt positive coping strategies to manage stress and collaborate effectively with educators, counselors, and therapists to support their child's success.
This program is for adults only and is presented in partnership with Avon Lake Public Library.
