How We Work within Education

A Collaborative Approach to Education & EBSA

Students experiencing Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), school is an overwhelming experience. Anxiety, social pressures, academic stress, or personal challenges can make attendance difficult. But avoiding school isn’t the solution—instead, we focus on understanding the root causes and creating a supportive, flexible environment that helps students rebuild confidence and re-engage at their own pace.

How We Support Students & Families:
- Recognising Early Signs – EBSA often starts gradually. We help families identify triggers like anxiety, bullying, transitions, or academic pressure before they escalate.
- Open Communication – Parents and carers play a vital role. We encourage regular conversations between families and schools to create a unified support system.
- Flexible Learning Approaches – Some students need adjusted timetables, quiet spaces, or alternative learning methods to feel comfortable returning to school.
- Emotional & Practical Support – We provide coping strategies, peer mentoring, and structured reintegration plans to help students regain confidence.
- Workshops & Family Events – Engaging parents in the learning process boosts motivation and enthusiasm, making education a collaborative journey.

What Parents & Carers Are Asking:

• “How do I know if my child is experiencing EBSA?” → Look for gradual school avoidance, increased anxiety, or emotional distress before school.

• “What can schools do to help?” → Schools should offer personalised support plans, regular check-ins, and a safe space for students to express concerns.

• “How can I support my child at home?” → Establish morning routines, encourage open conversations, and celebrate small wins to rebuild confidence.

Education isn’t just about lessons—it’s about creating opportunities, nurturing passion, and inspiring lifelong learning. By working together, we can ensure that every young person thrives, feels valued, and is excited about their future.
