EBSNA - Emotionally Based School Non attendance

🧠 What is EBSNA?

EBSNA refers to a child’s difficulty attending school because of emotional challenges. This can lead to prolonged absences and may show up as:

• 😢 Separation anxiety

• 😟 Social anxiety

• 📚 Academic worries

• 😔 Other emotional or wellbeing concerns

 

These difficulties can be caused by a mix of home, school, and personal factors—and every child’s experience is unique.
