This 1 day workshop is delivered by two licensed Relationships in Practice trainers from 9.30am – 4.30pm. Our trainers model the skills of our ABLE training model and use a mix of adult learning styles, auditory, visual, and experiential, using a strengths-based approach and encouraging a growth mindset. We understand that staff may sometimes find it difficult to establish clear boundaries in their role. This can be particularly difficult at times of change and transition, across the life cycle and with changes in an organisation. This is where our training can help. This one-day workshop provides a reflective space to take time to reflect on transitions and the impact on individuals , teams, and an organisation. It also provides a framework and the skills to help take a person-centred approach to empower clients while protecting practitioner’s own time, boundaries and wellbeing. The small group learning experience and interactive workshop provides opportunities for peer learning and support.
Our 3-day ABLE evidenced-based ABLE4Practitioners training programme is open to all frontline practitioners in healthcare, social care, social work and justice.
This programme shares emerging scientific insight from the fields of relationship theory, childhood adversity, transition and developmental model of relationships, Polyvagal theory and interpersonal neurobiology to help you understand what may be going on for the children and adults you engage with at work. In these experiential and reflective spaces, you will develop your understanding of the power of active/reflective listening and how positive relationships lead to better outcomes.
