Who we are

We are a group of parents and caregivers of children who struggle with school attendance. 

Why we meet

We offer listening, understanding, and support. We know that students and families are doing the best they can with the resources they have. Chronic school absenteeism indicates the need for understanding and help, not punishment.

Not Okay at School is a non-judgemental, safe space for sharing, and for exploring common barriers and potential solutions to the challenges we and our children face. Consider reaching out or join our group of parents who truly understand your journey. 

Join us!

There is no cost and no obligation to attend monthly. New parents are always welcome.
