Surrey School Refusal Support Group Being set up

A new support group is being set up in Surrey for families who have a child who refuses to attend school.

The school refusal is nearly always anxiety based but the triggers vary from child to child. Many but not all of those affected have SEN and disabilities. The group is based in the Reigate/Redhill area but is open to anyone in Surrey or surrounding areas.

The group's main focus will be to offer peer support in what is often an isolating experience but we will also provide information on the help that should be available and on interventions which may be effective.

They will have regular monthly meetings and occasional guest speakers.

The first meeting is planned to take place on Wednesday 12 December 2012 at 7.30pm. The venue is Reigate Baptist Church Hall, Sycamore Drive, Reigate. Click here to download a pdf of the flyer
