We believe this training assists carers and social care staff in understanding the complexities of negative behaviour and empowers them to address underlying needs by promoting alternative, constructive interventions. This training also delves into past experiences that may have influenced challenging behaviour. It emphasises the positive experiences we can provide young people to help them build resilience and manage their reactions to difficult situations.
