For Young People: Info Booklet

Many children and young people worry about school. This is normal. Anxieties are part of life and learning to deal with them is part of growing up. However sometimes our feelings can make us not want to attend school. If you have high levels of anxiety and worry about attending school you may be experiencing Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA).

You are not on your own. We all feel like this from time to time because of things that happen in our life at home, at school or elsewhere.
