Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) refers to children and young people who have difficulty in attending school due to emotional reasons. This can cause extreme distress for the sufferer themselves and their parent/s and families. Sometimes EBSA results in prolonged absences from school and the parent giving up their employment. Additionally, the child can be accused of being lazy, skiving etc. because people don’t understand the neuroscience and psychology of the condition. Parents can feel blamed, hopeless, scared, ashamed and deeply alone.
In this session you will be given an overview of EBSA and the key tools to help identify and support children and teenagers locked in fear. You will learn to recognise warning signs and triggers. Different causes of anxiety and stress linked with school avoidance will be explored with case examples illustrating the process of healing. Additionally, you will learn practical techniques and activities for developing individualised support plans. Presenters will also explore a) how to work alongside parents so they no longer feel isolated and judged and b) the vital role of emotionally available adults in school and community settings. Finally focus will be given to the importance of providing warm, welcoming sensorially rich learning environments to provide an abundance of safety cues which activate anti-anxiety neurochemicals and calm physiology.

About the ProgrammeA flexible, rolling programme of online lecture presentations - vital CPD in Child & Adolescent Mental Health, co-run by the Centre for Child Mental Health and the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education (Academic Partner of the University of East London)
Mental health symptoms can cause abject misery, adversely impact on functioning, relating, learning, doing, thinking. Symptoms are sometimes so awful that people take their own lives.
So, these mental health presentations provide key knowledge to alleviate suffering. The presentations will bring you fascinating psychology and neuroscience about the causes of mental health problems coupled with evidence-based roads to recovery. This vital knowledge is all too rarely in the public awareness. Instead, many sufferers and helping professionals alike, spend hours focusing on symptom control rather than addressing the core emotional pain that’s causing the symptoms in the first place.
As a result, far too many children and teenagers don’t get the help they need to have quality of life and to ensure that they have their emotions rather than their emotions having them.
Any child professional and/or parent wanting to help children and teenagers overcome mental health problems.
