Name: Summer Garcia
Age: 20
Year of the Fix: 2014
Location: Leeds
Campaign: To educate people about school phobia

Some people may not believe me for saying I had a fear of going to school. But it’s absolutely true.

 

I developed school phobia when I was 11. It’s an anxiety disorder which caused me to genuinely panic about being in class.

 

I wasn’t bullied, I had friends and wanted to be with them, but I had an intense fear blocking me.

 

For our Fixers campaign, my group and I want to show that school phobia is a real anxiety disorder and should be taken seriously.

 

Hopefully this will raise enough awareness and help others like me get the support they need.

 

Here is a list of Fixers helping me with my Fix:

 

Amy McHale India Donaldson
Annagh O'Malley Lucy Royles
Antonia Elsey Madeleine Dunnett
Caitlin Donnelly-Pierre Megan McGregor
Chanelle Browne Oscar Kennaway
Declan Jacobs Paul Waters
Erica Birthwright Rianne Carlton
Fionnuala Murphy Ryan Ward
Ginalda Tavares - Manuel Sian Awe
Holly Brownbridge Tanatswa Chari

Dr Amy Dodd, Perspective Psychology

Dr Dodd is a Childhood Counselling Psychologist who supported my Fix by appearing in my ITV News broadcast to speak about school phobia.

I've had some positive feedback since my campaign was broadcast on ITV News Calendar. You can read these comments below:

 

Alec Shelbrooke MP

'Great news article on ITV. Good to see these issues raised to bring greater public awareness.'

 

Margaret Emsley, ITV News Calendar

'Excellent film. Summer and her mum did a great job.'

 

Lesley:

'I once got a letter saying that my child has a phobia about school. It's not a nice thing to have to go through.'

 

Keely:

'My sister has the same problem. My mum and dad have the same thing every day - she screams and refuses to go. She has done since she started nursery, she is now twelve and has the same problem.'

 

Joanna:

'I have been going through the same thing with my son. I've gone through everything and everyone for help.'
