Parent Support Session: Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA)

Hosted by: Bradford Children and Families Trust (Shared by West Yorkshire CANN)

About this Event

Is your child struggling to attend school due to feelings of worry or stress? Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) can be a difficult journey for both children and parents, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Join a supportive, four-week programme delivered by the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council’s Educational Psychologist Team. These sessions are designed to provide a safe space for parents to share their experiences, listen to others in similar situations, and gain practical ideas to support their child’s wellbeing and school engagement.

What to Expect:

  • Peer Support: Connect with other parents facing similar challenges.

  • Expert Guidance: Learn what you can do to support your child and what expectations to have of the school system.

  • Safe Environment: A friendly, supportive atmosphere to discuss concerns openly.
