| Title: |
Changing Behaviour - Behavioural Strategies to Increase Positive Behaviours - Brisbane |
| Type of Activity: |
Workshops & Seminars |
|
Objective of Course / Workshop:
|
Many people are using unwanted
behaviours but really don’t want to be ...
they simply do not know what new positive
behaviours to use instead. Using desired
behaviours is a skill; a skill that often
needs to be taught and not expected that
people know how to do automatically ...
just like learning to read or driving a car;
we all need the opportunity to learn new
skills! People frequently use unwanted
behaviours in response to challenges they
are experiencing & currently do not know
how to respond to this same experience by
using desired behaviours. Whether it be a
3-year-old or a 60-year-old; we all have
used unwanted behaviours at some time,
and will again in the future unless we are
taught to respond differently. If we want to
see new positive behaviours, we must teach
what we want to see! |

| Course / Workshop content: |
This course will support people to firstly
understand why people use certain
behaviours and with this information
influence positive behaviour change in self
or other people. Attending this unique and
hands on workshop will provide you with
a new and innovative experience in the
application of individualised behavioural
strategies. Use of real case examples
and the opportunity to practice learned
strategies throughout the workshop allows
for a true understanding that can be
integrated into your every-day-life.
The focus of this workshop will be on
learning skills-building behaviour strategies
(teaching new positive behaviours) and
preventative strategies as opposed to
reactive strategies (only responding once
the unwanted behaviours have occurred). |
