This workshop is based on the premise that young people and children don’t intend to be ‘challenging’. This reframe allows us to view their behaviour as trying to tell us something, opening up a wider range of possible responses. It can be paired with a second workshop that is tailored to your setting and the behaviours that you would like to explore.
Course Summary – Part One and Two
Delivered by mental health professionals, the content of the workshop is designed to enhance existing staff’s ability to respond and react to young people within their settings framework. It offers a structure that will enable reflection and planning to support the young people most in need, alongside enhancing confidence and knowledge.
Course Summary – Part Two
The second two hour workshop is tailored to each individual setting and provides an opportunity to consult with YMCA Trinity Group and consider the practical strategies that your setting would like to explore in greater detail.
