EBSA – Emotionally Based School Avoidance training

EBSA is the term currently used to describe the experience of non-school attendance due to very high levels of anxiety. Situations of EBSA can be hugely stressful for everyone concerned - the school, the parents or carers and the child. A little-known feature of EBSA is that actually the child really does want to be able to attend school; it is a matter of can’t, not won’t, and this can add to the feelings of distress felt.
