Course Aims and Objectives
This is an intensive, practice-based course, which can be emotionally demanding as incidents are acted out by the trainer in front of the group. This provides a springboard for participants to experience and examine some of their own reactions to difficult, disturbing, and/or dangerous behaviour. At the end of the course, participants should:
- Feel more confident to deal with aggressors in crisis.
- Have a greater awareness of how their own feelings and reactions may help or hinder the resolution of a crisis.
- Be more able to identify indicators of violent behaviour, and take appropriate preventative measures.
- Have identified strategies for responding effectively to uncontained behaviour
