Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)

Helping young people back into Education

Do you work with children and teenagers who have difficulty attending school due to emotional factors such as anxiety, fear, distress, etc? Perhaps EBSA Autism, AuDHD or ADHD.  Or Emetophobia.

In the UK, 20 – 25% of pupils CAN’T go to school (not won’t), at some point in their education.

The mental health challenges and emotional reactions to a school environment can lead to very low or intermittent absences, as well as prolonged absences from education.  This affects Academic progress and the well-being of the young person, due to isolation etc. Many haven’t attended for 6 months to 2 years, or even longer.

Come and learn how Hypnotherapists and Hypnotists can help these children and young people back into school.
