SCHOOL AVOIDANCE ALLIANCE
In The United States, Jayne Demsky witnessed that many schools carry vast assumptions and misinterpretations of school refusal, its underlying causes, and the distress the kids and families face as they live these scenarios day after day. After seven years of running her school refusal website for parents, Jayne realized that to affect change, she needs to include educating educators and their schools by promoting school refusal awareness, sharing facts and best practices to help get kids back to school. Having schools understand School Avoidance will help improve their empathy, support, and assistance. Jayne just launched SchoolAvoidane.Org, the School Avoidance Alliance, to accelerate this information flow to help students, families, and schools more effectively. She is dedicated to changing misconceptions about this condition and promoting evidence-based solutions for school refusal. For more information, you can reach her at jayne@schoolrefusalhope.org, or www.SchoolAvoidance.Org.
