The focus of this one day course is understanding the neurosequential Model of Development and contingency based systems. The Learning brain by Dr Bruce Perry will be explored so you leave with an understanding of the concepts Regulate, Relate and Reason. The Ecological Approach to mental health by Dr Manie Aston will be explored to promote inclusion, equity, wellbeing and creativity. Exploring shame, guilt will give an insight into some underlying reasons for behaviours we don't understand. You will leave the course with ideas and thoughts about how to de-escalate situations, and how to support problem solving to avoid escalation of conflict. Having a conversation about consequences and contingency based systems will provide debate and food for thought.
