Topic: Hiding and Running Away

Hiding and running away are both types of avoidant behaviour that children and young people may engage in when they feel distressed, overwhelmed, or anxious. It is sometimes known as a ‘flight’ response.

Use these resources to explore why individuals in your organisation may hide or run away, and what you can do to support them.
