Training Overview

In this workshop you will learn why the people we support may have challenging behaviour, learn some strategies to better support them, and learn how to support ourselves as caregivers.

Learning Objectives

• Section One – we’ll discuss diagnosis, mental health, and behaviour as a group. We will look at contributors to behaviour, what factors affect behaviour, how to identify challenging behaviour, and if change is needed.
• Section Two – we’ll identify what good support means. We will talk about how to support mindfully, then share some proactive and reactive strategies. The final part of this section will provide a brief overview on safety planning.
• Section Three – we’ll look at how caregivers can take care of themselves. We will also discuss stress management, wellness, and self-care.
