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.
