Jeder Schultag zählt – Schulabsentismus bei psychischen Erkrankungen

Zusammenfassung

Schüler, die von der Schule fernbleiben, zeigen dieses Verhalten aus verschiedenen Gründen. Diese finden sich in den individuellen Lebensbereichen und in komplexen psychosozialen Faktoren. Schulabsentismus geht nicht selten mit psychischen Störungen einher und ist ein sich entwickelnder Prozess. Deshalb gilt es, eine Chronifizierung durch frühe multidisziplinäre Interventionen zu vermeiden. Ziel ist die Reintegration in die Heimatschule.
