Mental Health Consulting Program For Parents
Anxiety-Related School
Refusal
What is mental health consultation: Mental health consultation happens when a mental health therapist leverages their clinical specialty to help address mental health-related community problems. Mental health consultants often consult with individuals, companies, institutions, and government agencies individually or in combination to address mental health related community problems.
Anxiety-related school refusal: Happens when a school-aged minor is no longer able to consistently attend school due to an underlying anxiety disorder/issue that is triggered by the learning environment. Schools often have limited resources to help parents of children experiencing anxiety-related school refusal. In addition, sending your child to therapy to address their anxiety-related school refusal issues does not address the multi-faceted issue of how to reintegrate your child back into the learning environment.

Since 2015 Dr. Nabors has worked with parents, K-12 schools, and colleges to help students rejoin learning environments.
