We (almost) all go to school, and there we learn many things. We learn that school is a good thing, and that we have to go to school in order to learn. We learn that without school, we’d get nowhere in life.
These beliefs run deep. The things we learn about ourselves and education at school often stay with us for our whole lives.
Then if you have a child who struggles at school, it can be hard to know what to do. Your child is so unhappy, but everyone tells you they seem fine. You’re told they have to be made to go, but at the same time the distress at home is unmanageable. You think that school is essential, but the cost to your child seems out of proportion.
In these courses and webinars about school, Naomi talks about why school can be hard, and why some children are traumatised or burnt out by their time at school. She’ll talk about how parents can help their children to learn and thrive, whether or not they are at school.
Your child isn’t happy at school. They are protesting in the mornings, or having meltdowns in the afternoons. They tell you that they don’t want to go, and you feel torn between them and the school. School are telling you that the answer is to keep pushing, as you don’t want to reinforce avoidance or behaviour. It’s starting to dominate everything about your family life, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
Things have gone wrong at school for your teenager, and now it’s like they have nothing left. They have lost their sense of what made life worth living. You don’t know how to help, and sometimes it seems like whatever you do makes things worse. Naomi will explain how burnout happens and what the process of recovery looks like.
Is your autistic child having problems at school? Naomi offers ways to think about the issues, and tools and strategies which will help you make changes for your child.
In this mini course Naomi will talk about school trauma, how it occurs, what makes it worse and how parents can help. You'll leave with a new understanding of what has gone on for your child, why they are still affected by the past, and some ideas of what to do. This course will combine psychological theory with practical strategies and ideas.

Many neurodivergent teens are struggling to attend school, and lots of them become completely unable to attend. But what happens next? Teenagers often believe they must be at school to learn, and that their future is over. This isn't true. We don't talk much about education outside school, but it's happening all around us. In this new course, Naomi will give you some ideas to help your teenager re-engage with learning and see a life beyond school. This course focuses on the learning and educational journey, rather than mental health.
