challenging behaviour

Are you looking for high quality training to support staff who are dealing with challenging behaviour?  Are you looking for an effective ‘Restraint Reduction Strategy?’ Do you staff understand the significance of communication when dealing with any potential conflict?
Are you confident in supporting the emotional regulation of the people in their care? Do you fully understand the biology underneath the behaviours, so you can provide a safe and secure relational environment? Do you know what ‘Positive Behaviour Support’ is?

Our 'Understanding & Reducing Challenging Behaviour' course ensures staff have the essential training to help them feel confident and competent when caring and working with people who can be challenging.

Our training is informed by leading academics and will enable participants to better support people who are dysregulated  and reduce the reliance on restrictive practices, by promoting a positive relational culture and evidenced based practice. This will minimise the potential for injury and trauma, further promoting an emotionally and physically safer environment for all. 

‘All Behaviour is Communication’

Course participants will explore how they can reduce risks to themselves, the people in their care and their setting by deepening their understanding of the functions of behaviour and the impact of the selected communication being presented.

This course provides essential training for staff to assist people who are struggling to manage their emotional regulation by applying knowledge of the biology behind the behaviour, Positive Behaviour Support, effective de-escalation techniques and relational therapeutic interventions. Whilst we are proud to embrace cutting edge neuroscience and the latest academic research, React UK ensures our training is simple to understand, and easy for all course participants to apply in practice.

Our bespoke training packages enable improvements in behaviour and build bridges to better relationships. This can lead to a dramatic positive change to the climate for learning and both social and emotional intelligence.
