Description
The course covers the background and rationale for PBS and then looks at understanding an individual’s needs, analysing their behaviour and understanding the role it fulfils. Positive and proactive, the training will empower delegates to develop individual PBS plans aimed at improving their clients’ environment and wellbeing, thus decreasing the likelihood of disturbed behaviour. Using skills and understanding from the course delegates will be able to develop specific client-centred plans, also considering their situation and family / carers.
Given that some incidents will inevitably still occur the course also covers steps to manage a crisis and to continually review and improve the plan. This is a powerful approach that improves the environment and wellbeing of both clients and staff.
The APT has mastered the delivery of PBS training 'online anytime'; providing top class training you can access right now or any time that suits you. No longer do you have to wait for 'the start date' of the course.
"I learned so much in the course. Though I had some previous knowledge of DBT, it truly clarified so much of the skills and theory of DBT"
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) training from the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT), includes APT accreditation, certification, and resources. And the APT has perfected the art of delivering it in a way that makes it appear simple and easy to apply.
"Very helpful, insightful, organised and easy to follow. Will definitely be using this knowledge and these resources with my clients. Highly recommend!"
With a wealth of clinical experience, the course has been written by Dr William Davies and presented by Dr Martin Horler, who presents the course with relevant stories and examples of using PBS and an engaging lightness which perfectly complements the power of the subject.
"I enjoyed the presenter and overall format of the class. It was easy to follow and gave good examples of practising the components of DBT."
