Evaluating the Back 2 School Program in a Norwegian Setting: A Multicenter Pilot Study

We will use the Danish version of the revised manual developed within the B2S study in Aarhus, Denmark. The B2S program consists of a 3 to 3,5 -hour initial clinical assessment, a clinical conference, 11 sessions where the youth and/or parent are attending, and a booster session after three months including youth and parent. The B2S manual comprise four school meetings with the child, parents, school staff and therapists present. In the Norwegian pilot study, we will add an extended school module to the B2S-program. The school module includes a pre-meeting interview with the schools in week 1 and session 1 with the school in week 2 or 3. The B2S counselor and the school will decide whether there is a need for an additional meeting between school meetings 1 and 2. There is also a booster session with the child, parents, the school and the B2S team 3 months after the program.
