Does your teen experience school refusal?

If your teen struggles to attend school due to anxiety, depression, or emotional distress (sometimes called 'school refusal', 'school can't', or 'school phobia'), check out the PILL Education program.

PILL is based on:

  • High-quality research evidence and international expert consensus
  • Parenting guidelines on reducing teen risk of depression and anxiety
  • “Reducing teenagers’ risk of depression and anxiety disorders: Strategies for parents during the COVID-19 pandemic”

Who is this program for?

Parents/guardians of teens aged 12-18
Families living in Pakistan
Urdu-speaking households
Regular internet access
  • PILL is designed for parents whose teenagers are not yet experiencing depression or anxiety difficulties.
  • If your teenager is already experiencing such difficulties, you can still join, and we recommend seeking support from a mental health professional.
  • Parents of children younger than 12 or older than 17, and professionals who want to review the program, are also welcome to register!
