•Parents and/or guardians of adolescents aged 12-15 years who:
•are having difficulty attending school due to emotional distress (sometimes called ‘school refusal’, ‘school can’t’ or ‘school avoidance’);
•have attended less than 18 of the past 20 school days (excluding school holidays);
•would like to support their child to re-engage in formal education settings (i.e. attendance at a physical or virtual school, rather than home-schooling);
•can read, write, hear, and speak English.
•Further, for parents to be eligible they must:
•have regular contact with their teenager;
•live in Australia;
•be able to read, write, hear, and speak English (both parent and teen);
•have regular internet access (including email) and a device that supports videoconferencing (e.g. Zoom).
•Adolescents (aged 12-15 years) of participating parents who:
•are the identified adolescent of the parent participant;
•can read, write, speak, and hear in English;
•live in Australia.

•Group 1: Parents
•Parents of adolescents who are not attending school for reasons other than emotional distress (e.g. illness or truancy).
•Parents of an adolescent whose mental health difficulties require more immediate or intensive support than the program can provide.
•Parents who are already engaged in family therapy, another parenting program, or other mental health treatments that may contradict the PiP-Ed+ program.
•Parents for whom the intervention is deemed inappropriate or contraindicated for the child’s or family’s needs (e.g. intellectual disability, complex family situations including family violence, severe parent mental health or other difficulties that are likely to limit the parent’s ability to engage with the program).
•Parents of adolescents who are currently engaged in full-time home schooling and do not intend to transition back into formal education.
•Group 2: Adolescents
•There are no additional exclusion criteria beyond the above mentioned criteria for parents. All adolescents of parents deemed eligible will be eligible to participate.
