CAMHS and OxPCF Webinar Series: Emotional Based School Avoidance

Understanding Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)

Part of the CAMHS & OxPCF Webinar Series: Caring with Compassion

This session will focus on Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) – what it is, why it happens, and how it particularly affects neurodivergent children and young people. We’ll explore some of the underlying reasons for EBSA, including anxiety, sensory overload, and school-based trauma, and offer compassionate approaches to understanding and reducing EBSA.

Whether you’re supporting a child currently out of school or noticing early signs of school-related anxiety, this session aims to equip you with greater insight and practical strategies.
