Supporting lasting behaviour change through life skills development
One-day workshop
Do you and your team feel equipped to respond to the behaviour challenges presented in your workplace?
Do you want your team to really make a difference to the lives of your clients?
Whether it be in the field of disability, mental health, education or in a caring capacity of any kind, our clients are like any other person in that they are here to embrace life and all that life presents – however, in each of these industries, behaviour issues are getting worse. Is it time to re-address how we approach them?
Why is this course needed?
As a Behaviour Specialist I have been working in the field of behaviour since 2002. In my role I have completed countless behaviour assessments in homes, workplaces, community settings and educational facilities.
What is common amongst all assessments is that behavioural deterioration is a result of a person perceiving they are not equipped to respond to what life may be presenting them at any given moment, albeit a different aspect of life for each one.
So – what if caring was not about caring alone but rather, more about supporting a person to develop the skills to respond to life and what life is presenting?
All too frequently I have seen carers completing tasks for their clients when they have the capacity to learn and/or do such tasks themselves. What if this approach was in fact contributing to increased behaviour issues? What if this approach was reducing if not denying a person’s purpose?
What if we changed the title from carer, support worker or alike to LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPER?
Outcomes:
This one-day program will offer all those working in the field of behaviour to embrace their role of a FOREVER TEACHER OF LIFE; offering a way forward for clients in their care to:
