Support Group for People Caring for a Child with School Refusal and Anxiety

Wellways Carer Gateway is pleased to invite you to join our In-Person Peer Support group for people caring for a child or young person with school refusal and anxiety. These sessions will be held online, so join from the comfort of your own home!

Our In-Person Peer Support program is delivered over 8 sessions and is designed as an opportunity for you to learn something new and make connections with other people in a similar caregiving role. Topics and activities will be chosen by you and the other carers in your group, including yoga, meditation, and artistic activities, and presentations from guest speakers, including advocacy programs and other services.

Sessions will be held weekly from 6pm - 7pm on Tuesdays starting from 13th January, 2026 and will be held online via Microsoft Teams. Please contact us if you need assistance with getting connected. Carers are encouraged to attend all sessions to get the most out of the experience.

Please note: This event is open to residents living in Queensland or South-Western Sydney and Nepean Blue Mountains regions in NSW, Australia only. Participants must also be registered with Carer Gateway (we can assist with new registrations for eligible participants).

If you are having trouble registering for our event, please contact us on 1800 422 737.
