About this episode
School-based anxiety is something many families are struggling with right now, with more and more young people feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of school.
What can sometimes look like reluctance or refusal to attend is often rooted in anxiety, leaving parents unsure how best to respond.
To talk more about what’s behind this and how parents can support their teenagers, Alan Morrissey was joined by Margaret O’Brien, founder of YouthWell Clare, a psychotherapist with over 10 years’ experience specialising in adolescents, young adults, and parent support.
