About this session

This informative training provides key information on Emotion Based School Avoidance (EBSA) - a significant area of challenge for schools.

Sandra has first-hand, professional and lived-experience of EBSA and delivers this training to reframe mis-conceptions and misunderstanding, to provide a comprehensive picture of the problem and proven, successful strategies to support students and their families.

Participants will learn about the interplay between emotions, the brain, and learning, as well as common triggers for emotional distress and anxiety and reasons for avoidance in students.

Strategies grounded in neuroscience and inclusive practices will be shared to help participants recognise signs of emotional distress, create supportive classroom environments, and provide individualised support to anxious children.

Additionally, the session emphasises the importance of professional curiosity, relationships and belonging, empathy and acceptance in order to foster the well-being of all.

This session is suitable for Teachers, Senior Leaders, Middle Leaders, Teaching Assistants and Pastoral Support Staff in all phases.
