Challenging Behaviour & Communication

This is a fun and informative course, designed to give all participants an understanding of what happens emotionally, psychologically and physically to a person when they are experiencing challenging behaviour.

We all experience challenging behaviour in our everyday lives, whether it be as a parent, a teacher, a carer, even on the road as a driver and going about our daily lives at times.

If you experience challenging behaviour at work it can add to the stresses and pressures of your workload.

Working with children can be particularly challenging at times and their behaviour can get in the way of them learning the academic and life skills they need to go on and achieve a successful adult life.

Working with the public or managing a team of people can present its own challenges and often entails having to deal with the behaviour of individuals, small groups or even large groups of people.

This course can be tailor made to meet your organisation’s needs and open courses are generic and for all to attend.

  • Understanding the physiology & psychology of interactive behaviour
