Making sense of Emotionally-Based School Avoidance (EBSA)

Dr Jerricah Holder will provide an introduction to emotionally-based school avoidance (EBSA) and key psychological models essential to understanding the needs of children who find it difficult and distressing to attend school. Moving away from the language of school refusal, Jerricah will share her ‘Integrated Model of EBSA’, enabling school staff to develop a greater understanding of the complex and often multi-faceted aspects of school avoidance behaviours and how best to support children and families to rebuild their resilience to attend school.
