WHEN EBSA STARTS TAKING OVER FAMILY LIFE...

You can end up carrying fear about your child, pressure from school, uncertainty about what to do next and the feeling that every decision rests with you.

You may have read the books, googled EBSA late at night and sat through meetings you never felt fully prepared for. Yet you’re still questioning whether you’re responding in the right way.

When your child becomes distressed, your own threat system can react too. Urgency takes over. Responsibility becomes blurry. Every plan that unravels can start to feel like another sign that you’re getting it wrong.

This free webinar focuses on the part of EBSA support that often gets missed: helping you stay steady enough to think, respond and decide what will be useful next.

THE 4 THINGS WE'LL COVER...

1. Anchor

You’ll learn what happens when your child’s distress activates your own nervous system, and how to create enough space to choose your response.

I’ll guide you through a simple 60-second Anchor you can use before responding to a difficult morning, an upsetting message or another change of plan.

2. Bearings

Fear can leave you feeling responsible for everything.

You’ll learn how to separate what you can control, what you can influence and what sits outside your control, so you can put your energy where it can genuinely help.

3. Recalibrate

EBSA rarely follows a neat plan.

You’ll learn how to treat setbacks as useful information, work out what may be getting in your child’s way and approach conversations with school with greater clarity.

You’ll also receive practical questions and scripts you can use when a plan needs to change.

4. Horizon

When you’re living from one difficult moment to the next, EBSA can become the centre of family life.

We’ll look at how you can protect your relationship with your child, notice forms of progress that easily get missed and hold onto a life beyond the immediate crisis.

BY THE END OF THE WEBINAR, YOU'LL HAVE...

• A practical way to steady yourself before you respond.

• A clearer sense of what belongs to you and what you can put down.

• A framework for learning from plans that haven’t worked as hoped.

• Useful language for school meetings and difficult conversations.

• A way to protect connection and family life while things remain uncertain.

• A clearer idea of the next useful step for you.

THIS WEBINAR IS FOR YOU IF...

• Your child or teenager is struggling to get to school because of anxiety, overwhelm or distress.

• School has become the focus of almost every conversation at home.

• You keep questioning whether you’re doing the right thing.

• You feel exhausted from managing your child’s needs, school expectations and everyone else’s opinions.

• You’ve already tried several approaches and need help making sense of what’s happening.

• You want practical, evidence-based psychological support without judgement.

• You want to understand and support your child without losing yourself in the process.

You don’t need to have a formal diagnosis or use the term EBSA yourself. If emotional distress is making school feel unmanageable for your child and the strain is affecting your family, this session is for you!
