We’re proud to partner with you to share free, universal parent education each month to help all families learn skills and strategies to thrive.

School avoidance can show up at any age, from difficult drop-offs to frequent requests to stay home. This month parents will get practical guidance from a Daybreak clinician on how to respond when a child or teen is struggling to go to school.

Your ready-to-use plan to share support with families.
