We offer a range of usually, short, courses that focus on specific dysfunctional behaviours. These courses are responsive to organisational, and client needs and are designed to work on key deficit areas that impact on difficult behaviours. Increasingly we are being asked to put on events, which directly enhance work with these problematic behaviours in line with current research evidence. This capacity building aims to:

• Identify key targets for intervention
• Link with research findings
• Offer solutions to specific behaviours
• Provide coaching through practice
• Enhance responsiveness to client need
• Develop learning
• Teach specific skills

Overall our aim is to offer a research-based theoretical foundation for these methods of work, provide a clear rationale for them and assist with the planning phase for implementation in the workplace.

Our events include:

Methods of working…

this course offers a background to effective practice research and cognitive-behavioural methods, which are used throughout the behavioural change interventions.

Problem-solving…

skills, or the lack of them, are increasingly linked to offending/anti-social behaviours. Interventions, which focus on teaching the range of problem-solving skills, are covered on our courses.

     

Applied problem-solving…

develops the specific skills taught on the basic course and relates them to offence/anti-social behaviours. This will be relevant to those working with particularly entrenched behaviours.

 

Social Skills…

or the lack of them impact upon individuals who fail to cope with the world around them. Much offence/anti-social behaviour stems from this and our courses assist staff to develop this work.

     

Anger management…

is increasingly used to assist those with anger problems to control/limit their behaviour. Our courses draw on Novaco’s work and use cognitive-behavioural approaches to inform this work.

 

Alcohol and violence…

binge drinking is a problem in many of our cities and with many of our young people. The links between alcohol and violence are clear and the COVAID programme addresses these.

     

Self-management…

uses a cognitive-behavioural approach to assist individuals to control their difficult behaviours. Our courses offer specific techniques to assist with learning these skills.

 

Case Assessment…

particularly of the offence and possible cognitive distortions is key to designing the appropriate intervention. Our courses offer offence analysis and cognitive restructuring input and practice.

     

Moral Reasoning…

the beliefs or attitudes of offenders/anti-social individuals can be targeted through moral-reasoning training which seeks to enhance their thinking skills. Our courses focus on developing this.

 

Thinking Skills…

often those with offence/anti-social difficulties suffer from cognitive/thinking skills deficits, which hamper the way they approach a problem. Our courses focus on developing these skills.
