Title: Understanding Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)
When: Tuesday 26th November 2024 at 1pm
Summary: There are many reasons why children miss school. Emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA) is one of the reasons that is particularly rooted in anxiety or fear with potentially great consequences for the child. It is a pattern of prolonged absence where a child has a severe difficulty attending school due to emotional factors. However, EBSA and related behaviours are often misunderstood by parents, carers and schools. This lack of understanding of EBSA sometimes results in responding in unhelpful ways and making things worse.
This online session will aim to provide an overview of EBSA while demystifying it. Specifically, during the session we will be:
- Drawing attention to the signs of EBSA;
- Analysing risk and protective factors for developing EBSA;
- Sharing practical techniques for supporting children.
Duration: Approximately 60 minutes
