  -Explore MTSS-Aligned Strategies to Prevent and Address School Avoidance: Participants will learn practical, evidence-based strategies aligned with MTSS Tiers 1, 2, and 3 to reduce school avoidance across a continuum of student needs. -Empathize with Parent and Student Experiences: Participants will gain insights into the lived experiences of school-avoidant students and their families—including emotional distress, stigmatization, and systemic barriers—so they can respond with empathy and strategic support.

  -Identify Pathways for Intervention and Collaboration: Participants will learn how to initiate productive partnerships with caregivers, mental health professionals, and school teams to create multi-tiered interventions that address the root causes of school avoidance and strengthen long-term attendance outcomes.

  The training is hosted by Western Region, any questions please reach-out to Jennifer Elliott at jennifer.elliott@aasp-az.org.
