Course overview
Pupils have had a two year period where their socialisation has been stilted or reduced. Schools are reporting students are less socialised, withdrawn and parents are less resilient when their son or daughter is anxious. Increasingly in schools, the boarding team is being asked to support in a greater depth. How do the team support the growing demands from pupils? What strategies can be employed?
