Updated Content

3^rd Edition programmes weave person-centred and trauma-informed approaches throughout the core content. In particular, on interpreting the brain’s response to threat as one of the causes of distress behaviour, identifying the level of risk of the behaviour, and identifying preventive strategies to mitigate risk.  

Updated Flow

The instructional design of the modules is based on adult learning, connecting the knowledge to the experience of the learners so they can more easily use their knowledge and skills in real-life situations. There’s also increased attention on the “why” behind concepts and techniques.
