Facilitator Training

Online training for counsellors & therapists supporting School Can’t

Develop confidence in supporting young people experiencing School Can’t through practical, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming professional learning designed specifically for counsellors, therapists, wellbeing practitioners and allied health professionals.

This training focuses on the practical implementation of the ACER-recognised Navigating School Can’t Workbook within therapeutic and support settings. Practitioners are guided through how to safely and effectively use the workbook to help young people explore the underlying factors contributing to school disengagement, build emotional awareness and resilience, strengthen coping strategies and increase their sense of safety, connection and capacity.

Grounded in compassionate, relationship-based practice, the training supports practitioners to integrate the workbook into their existing work with young people and families in a way that feels practical, flexible and clinically relevant.
