As a new school year approaches, the transition back to the classroom can trigger severe anxiety for many children. When mild back-to-school jitters escalate into school avoidance—with your child consistently refusing to go to school, frequently arriving late, or wanting to leave early—it can feel overwhelming for the whole family.

Join InStride Health clinical team members Esha Karia, MA, and Tatum Tennenbaum, LICSW, as they break down actionable strategies to help you understand what is driving your child's anxiety and how to balance validating their feelings with reducing the comforts of staying home. Over the course of the session, they will highlight how families can partner with school staff and clinicians to build a supportive, gradual re-entry plan that fosters your child's long-term resilience.

This webinar is specifically designed for parents and caregivers seeking practical tools, morning routine strategies, and communication tips to help their youth confidently return to the classroom.
