Help getting my 15 year old daughter back into a routine!

NAS50162

My daughter is a school refuser and is currently spending most days at home isolated and alone. This is really affecting her mental health. 

Both myself and my husband work full time and her younger sister attends school.

I really need her to access something that will help her to gain confidence and realise her diagnosis doesn't mean she cant carry on a normal life. 

Secondary school has been a very traumatic experience for her and i'm afraid this has broken her.

Thanks.

  • Hi this is my first time on this page and your situation sounds extremely similar to mine. My 15 year old daughter is also a school refuser to the point where she has been out of education for 3 years. She has suffered and still suffers with anxiety, depression and OCD and like you say her experiences of secondary school, and school in general has left her broken. I haven’t got any answers I’m afraid just wanted to say I feel your pain!
