Are you the parent of a teen or tween with concerns about your child regularly attending school?
This workshop, presented by the University Center for the Child and Family (UCCF) at the Mary A. Rackham Institute, will provide information and strategies to help you support your child around school attendance. The workshop will include psychoeducation on common causes and consequences of student absenteeism as well as teenage developmental processes.
This workshop will also provide strategies for positive parent-child communication and establishing daily routines to make it easier for teens and tweens to regularly attend school. Strategies for supporting parents’ own self-care will also be addressed, along with tips for communication with schools around attendance, and knowing when it is time to seek professional help.
This workshop will be offered in October and November of 2024.
