Challenging Behaviour Awareness Certification
Challenging Behaviour Awareness
This course is aimed at health and social care workers, caregivers, nursery staff, schoolteachers, and support workers in all fields. It aims to address the frustrating issues of challenging behaviour in the care situation.
Many carers are professional, well-trained and competent to offer physical care to their patients or those in their care, but they may struggle to deal professionally and unemotionally with people who are displaying difficult, disruptive or aggressive behaviour.
This course will help you understand why people behave in a disruptive and challenging manner and the techniques you can use to analyse their behaviour. You will gain an understanding of the mechanisms that can be used to mitigate and deescalate negative behaviours and how to replace them with more positive behaviours. This will lead to improved happiness and well-being of both the individual and the caregiver.
What you will learn:
- What challenging behaviour is in the context of health and social care
- Popular psychological theories about what causes challenging behaviour
- Challenging behaviours in children, teenagers and adults
- The importance of collaboration with other professionals and the families of those displaying challenging behaviour
- How to conduct risk assessments
- The importance of positive reinforcement and how to implement it
- Individualised care and tailored interventions
- The legal and ethical requirements when dealing with challenging behaviour
- Self-care for caregivers to avoid burnout
