  • World Mental Health Day
  • International Stress Awareness Week

The centre are highlighting attendance in its first free seminar of the year exploring the topic of emotionally-based school avoidance. The learning outcomes of this seminar are:

  • to increase understanding of the term ‘emotionally-based school avoidance’ (EBSA)
  • to summarise the current national picture for school-aged children
  • to explore the role of schools in supporting those affected
  • to be informed of further development opportunities and resources on EBSA
  • to understand the importance of working with parent and carers in the best way to help CYP who are experiencing emotionally based school avoidance

The seminar is on 29th September from 4:30-6pm and accessed online via Zoom. The seminar is a pre-cursor to a set of resources aimed at supporting those with EBSA.
