My young person is very anxious or won't engage - how do you handle that?

This is CRANK's specialty. Options include starting fully online from home, joining group sessions with camera off and just listening, texting before any calls, meeting a coach off-site or before the first session, or having a support worker attend initially. Coaches build rapport through shared games and interests - the 'hidden learning' approach - and are comfortable with a slow burn over weeks or months. Engagement is never forced: at your own pace, on your own terms.
