School Anxiety Support Online Community

Once a week for an hour. 

No.  The weekly meetings only run during term times.  

You will be sent an invitation to a zoom meeting.  You will need to log onto the meeting at the specified time. 

If you are unable to attend for any reason, you can access the recording afterwards through your online membership. 

There will be a bit of learning about theory relevant to school anxiety, opportunities for discussion and joint problem solving. 

We will cover the following topics: causes of school anxiety; what maintains anxiety; how anxiety affects thoughts, physical sensations and behaviours; what are the different kinds of anxiety; how schools and parents can support children with school anxiety; working effectively with schools to develop a personalised support plan; how parents can manage their own anxiety when faced with a distressed child. 

Yes! We are building a library of videos to help parents understand school anxiety.  If you join the online SAS Parenting Community you will have access to all the videos for the duration of your membership.  

From Reception to 6th Form.  While different kinds of anxiety are more common at different ages, much of the theory around supporting with school anxiety can be applied to all ages.   

If there are enough participants, different groups will be run for primary and secondary parents.  

No, you don't have to talk, but you will probably get much more out of the experience if you do.  

If you would prefer to learn the theory about school anxiety without discussion, you might prefer to sign up to our online School Anxiety course where you can work through videos at your own pace.  This course has not yet been finalised, but will be coming soon.
