We are at the time of the school year where it becomes more clear if children who were initially hesitant to attend school were able to successfully transition or if they would benefit from a specialized program that targets school refusal behavior.

The longer a child refuses to go to school, the harder it is to treat school refusal behavior. At SageMind Psychology we offer a cutting edge treatment protocol for school refusal called “Dialectical Behavior Therapy – School Refusal” (DBT-SR). DBT-SR uses multiple modalities to directly address the emotional and behavioral difficulties that drives and maintains school refusal behavior. This program is for children of any age who is unable to attend school due to school refusal behavior.

The program is personalized based on your child’s clinical needs. Components of the program will include:

A thorough assessment to make sure we a targeting the specific function of your child's behavior
Individual DBT Therapy for the Child
Weekly Parent Meetings
DBT Skills Group Training
Phone Based Coaching in the Morning
Weekly collaboration with School Personnel
Our programs are neurodiversity informed (we work with many children with 2E diagnoses, Autism, and ADHD), as well as LGBTQIA friendly.

Typically, when a child is attending school for at least 3/5 days a week, they are able to graduate to our adherent DBT program so that they are able to receive continuity of care with their providers, and a reduced frequency that matches their current functioning.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me over email @ rkason@sagemindpsychology.com and I will be happy to support. Here is a link to our website for more information as well. https://sagemindpsychology.com/school-refusal-program/
