Course Overview

Do you have students who are experiencing Anxiety Based School Avoidance (ABSA)? Are you finding it difficult to support them and help them attend school regularly? We understand that ABSA can manifest in various behaviours such as frequent absences, shortened days, or refusing to attend certain lessons and/or days. Supporting a student with ABSA can be complex and challenging, requiring careful planning, preparation, and collaboration between the school, student, and home. This course is designed to help educators effectively support students experiencing ABSA. The course will provide you with practical strategies and techniques for understanding, managing, and supporting students with ABSA.
