Welcome to the Safe practice and effective communication initial four day training.  Here you will learn the core principles and fundamental skills of communication, de-escalation and trauma informed care.  On completion of this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge, skills and techniques required to successfully communicate and/or de-escalate a distressed service user, in a manner which is safe, caring and compassionate.  Staff attending this course will have increased awareness of the psychological and physical harm that can be caused by coercive practice, restraint and/or seclusion.  Staff that attend this course will be taught techniques to break-away from dangerous or compromising situations.  Staff attending this course will also be taught how to keep a service user and themselves safe, in the unfortunate event that all other options have failed and a service user requires restraint to contain an imminently dangerous or high risk behaviour.          

The Stepped Care training sessions aim to give a brief outline of particular topics and to develop skills in the these areas.

For staff that have not done our workshop this 1 day training will provide them with extra skills and support to implement the Supporting Parents Healthy Children Guidelines in to their work.  We will be looking at the impact of parental mental health issues on parents, parenting and children, discuss expectations of staff and look at practical skills to increase participant’s confidence in starting conversations about parenting.
