Description
Mental Health and Attendance at School provides a practical guide to understanding the complex relationship between mental health and school attendance. Experts from education and mental health sectors collaborate to offer advice and key information for practitioners working with children and young people. The book explores topics such as the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, terminology, socio-political considerations, and the impact of emotional, behavioural, and neurodevelopmental disorders on school attendance. It also examines special educational needs, school factors and influences, and attendance issues affecting vulnerable children. This guide aims to support practitioners in developing effective strategies to enable children and young people to thrive, making it a valuable resource for both researchers and those working directly with students.
