Synapse Training to Tour QLD We're coming to you!

Thursday, 27th January, 2011

Synapse Training has developed a new course to meet the demand for cognitive training to show people how to assist others in managing their behaviour. The 1-day workshop called "Changing Behaviour for the Better" will be toured across Queensland in twenty locations and registrations are now open.

Anyone who is charged with the care and support of individuals with complex and challenging behaviours would benefit from the workshop, for example, health therapists (rehabilitation), community service workers, childcare & child safety workers, criminal Justice workers, paid and unpaid carers.

The workshop aims to thoroughly prepare staff and carers for the challenges they might face in working alongside people that exhibit complex or challenging behaviours. The day program (from 8.30am until 3.00pm) will include understanding behaviour, positive behaviour support, techniques and strategies for communication and interaction as well as approaches for managing in a crisis.

Registration including GST is $195 includes all specialised course materials, catering, a personalised certificate of completion, instruction from an internationally respected facilitator and the chance to network and share experiences with peers.

Grant Blest, Synapse Training Manager, believes that now has never been a better time to talk about behaviour particularly given the fact that Queensland's recent natural disaster is likely to have impacted on so many people. Grant believes that challenging behaviour can be a response to the environment.

"The majority of Queensland has suffered a natural disaster and now has never been a better time to assist others in managing behaviour in a crisis, our training provides accepted internationally-recognised approaches while also being proven to successfully work in real world situations."
