School Refusal/School Anxiety Program at the Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital 
School anxiety, avoidance, and refusal have become all too common in our classrooms today. During the course of their development many children and adolescents experience school-related anxiety in various ways. For some, school anxiety will manifest into school avoidance which may impact attendance, academic performance, social interactions, family relationships, and physical health. Without proper intervention, these problems can have a profound effect on both the family and a student's chance for success.
Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital offers a comprehensive course of treatment to address these issues. Our treatment approach includes working with the parents, the school system, and other necessary resources to meet 
each family's unique needs.
