For over fifty years, The Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties Association (SEBDA) has campaigned for better services for children and young people experiencing SEBD and better support for those who work with them. SEBDA represents the 'behaviour', disaffection and mental health difficulties field at regional and national level, contributing to government consultations and to research initiatives.
SEBDA's membership consists of teachers, educational psychologists, education officers, social, care, youth and mental health professionals who work with or for children and young people said to have SEBD who are disaffected (with behavioural difficulties) or who have mental health difficulties.
SEBDA provides its growing number of members with up-to-date information, support and professional development through its magazine/newsletter, research journal, networking and web-site.
SEBDA provides accredited specialist training at master's and first degree level in partnership with the University of Leicester and stages professional development events across Britain.
Please note: SEBDA does not have the staffing or other resources to provide a direct support or advice service to parents or to young people.
