Life Skills Developer
Supporting lasting behaviour change through life skills development
Do you and your team feel equipped to respond to the behaviour challenges presented in your workplace? Do you want your team to really make a difference to the lives of your clients?
Whether it be in the field of disability, mental health, education or in a caring capacity of any kind, our clients are like any other person in that they are here to embrace life and all that life presents – however, in each of these industries, behaviour issues are getting worse. Is it time to re-address how we approach them?
Why is this course needed?
As a Behaviour Specialist I have been working in the field of behaviour since 2002. In my role I have completed countless behaviour assessments in homes, workplaces, community settings and educational facilities.
What is common amongst all assessments is that behavioural deterioration is a result of a person perceiving they are not equipped to respond to what life may be presenting them at any given moment, albeit a different aspect of life for each one.
So – what if caring was not about caring alone but rather, more about supporting a person to develop the skills to respond to life and what life is presenting?
All too frequently I have seen carers completing tasks for their clients when they have the capacity to learn and/or do such tasks themselves. What if this approach was in fact contributing to increased behaviour issues? What if this approach was reducing if not denying a person’s purpose?
What if we changed the title from carer, support worker or alike to LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPER?
