Feedback

This training needs to be done everywhere and span so many places, the education is so so important and the understanding that behaviour concerns are not people being difficult on purpose or trying to be awkward. I think so many people would benefit from this especially to tackle misconceptions and stigma surrounding behaviour and support and just challenging the attitudes of people who don’t understand! As someone who is autistic and has had a lot of ongoing experience in MH services I wish that the professionals who delivered care took this approach because it would massively have reduced trauma

Lucy MacKinnon

Very well delivered training with Jack. Really useful information. Good resources which will be very useful in the future. Great to have time to all share experiences and learn from each other.

Kirsty Heath

The course was exceptional. It has really given me some tools to take away to use with patients and families showing behaviours of concern. It has reinforced that we can not treat patients with any bias and treat them all as individuals and get to the reason why they are behaving that way to come to a positive conclusion.

Helen Griffiths: Very interesting in further understanding of how behaviours can be triggered and escalate. Good strategy in how to understand and plan reducing stresses. Jack was a great instructor

Emma Baxter

Course exceed my expectations and Kirstie delivered it in an engaging and interactive manner. There are aspects I have taken away from today I would incorporate into my home life and work life to enable a more positive experience.

Charlotte Smedley

I can take this back to my senior on call and support the staff across the site to review and look at things differently. Along with analysing the situation myself separately and looking into the person more and what’s happen, this course has been amazing Kirstie made it so enjoyable she is brilliant thank you
