TRIBE Trauma Informed Care
Surviving the School Run
“A Trauma-Informed Look at School Refusal”
School refusal isn’t just about getting out of the door.
For many families, it becomes a daily cycle of anxiety and conflict. If your child becomes distressed, frozen, angry, or completely overwhelmed at the thought of school, this deep dive is for you. Not to judge. Not to blame. But to help you understand what’s really happening and what actually helps. This session is about making sense of school refusal through a trauma-informed and behaviour analytic lens, so you can respond with confidence.
Does This Sound Familiar?
- Your child becomes distressed, shut down, or explosive at the mention of school.
- Mornings feel tense, unpredictable, and emotionally draining.
- You’ve tried encouragement, consequences, reassurance and nothing seems to stick.
- You feel caught between supporting your child and pressure from school systems.
- You’re worried about attendance but even more worried about your child’s wellbeing.
Join Trauma-Informed Care experts Laura Neal and Rachel Evans for this focused Deep Dive, where you’ll learn how to move away from daily battles and towards safer, more supported mornings.
What Does Surviving the School Run Include?
Surviving the School Run
Grounded in trauma-informed practice and the science of behaviour, this session will help you understand why your child is refusing to go to school and what their behaviour is communicating in those difficult moments. We’ll explore the patterns that often show up around school time, including anxiety, shutdown, and escalation, and look at how certain responses - despite being well-intended - can unintentionally keep the cycle going.
This Deep Dive is hosted by Laura Neal and Rachel Evans, who bring together extensive experience in trauma-informed family support. Laura Neal has extensive experience supporting children with complex needs and the parents and carers supporting them at home. Rachel Evans’s work focusses on supporting children and their families, as well as working directly with schools to help them better understand and respond to children’s needs.
Together, Laura and Rachel create a supportive, non-judgemental space where understanding replaces blame and adults feel more confident in how they respond.
