At Diana’s Connecting Families Meeting, caregivers from Morris, Sussex, and Passaic counties learned more about school avoidance and the different factors that can make returning to school challenging for students.

The conversation explored practical ways caregivers and schools can work together, along with emotional and academic supports, including 504 Plans and IEPs, that can help students feel supported and reconnect with learning.

Families who pre-registered also received Back-to-School Backpacks filled with school supplies to help start the school year ready! 🎒✏️
