Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems associated with avoiding school attendance, as well as the unique Dusseldorf project (“Schule t(u) go”). During the implementation of the project, it was possible to return to school more than 80% of the participants, some of whom have not at-tended school for many years. The work emphasizes both the need for an individual and group approach, as well as the obligatory participation of parents in this process. The work with parents and children was based on a systemic therapy approach. Also, methods of individual, group therapies using a somatic approach (polyvagal theory), movement techniques (sports, yoga, walking), creative and resource therapies. In addition, parallels and direct links were drawn between school dropout and mental health, using the example of depression.
