Is your child awaiting an Autism assessment? Or are they showing signs of Autistic traits and you would like to learn more to help you understand how better to support them? Are you a professional looking to support a child / children in your care?
Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Parent Carer forums have teamed together to deliver a variety of workshops to provide information, support and practical guidance to help you on your journey.
NSPCWT Would like to invite parent carers and professionals to a fully funded session on this BRAND NEW training from Catrina Lowri on emotionally based school avoidance. This session has been requested by our parent carer community and we are so excited to be able to offer the support and guidance needed when families are experiencing this common issue.
Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) is a term used to describe children and young people (CYP) who experience challenges in attending school due to negative feelings (such as anxiety). EBSA is commonly associated with emotional and physical distress, and a reluctance to attend school, which can lead to reduced attendance and further anxiety regarding school.
During this session, Catrina will guide you through the why's and the how's to try and support you through this with your child/young person. You will have the chance to dicuss your personal circumstances if you wish, and to give you the tools and strategies to put in place.
Following the session, there will be a peer support Coffee afternoon, for parent carers that have attended the training, or those that have been unable to join to come and gain some support and information. The Coffee will run from 12pm-2pm. You do not have to stay for the duration.
