Hi , I’m looking for some advice my 13 year old son has been suffering with anxiety for over a year now , school aren’t supportive he hasn’t been to school in months as it is now more social anxiety he was put on propranolol which seemed to have an effect at the start but not any more ! He’s been referred to camhs but I have no idea how long that will take , he doesn’t see his friends anymore although they message and have been more supportive then the school ! I don’t know what else I can do ? I feel so helpless it’s all I think about everyday I just want my son better

The LA have a duty to provide alternative arrangements for DC unable or attend school, are they providing anything?

If you haven’t already you should apply for an EHCNA.

Most schools have a budget for counselling for students. Ask them about accessing this service.

Private counselling is also available if the wait for camhs is too long
