New Range of One Day Training Courses
1st December 2008
The Cognitive Centre Foundation is pleased to announce a range of one day courses which have been developed based on feedback from practitioners and managers who have asked for shorter training courses. The courses have been designed for new or inexperienced members of staff, and are suitable to be used in a range of different settings such as secure units, residential child care, children and families teams, youth justice settings, educational settings and criminal justice agencies.
An Introduction to Pro Social Modelling
This most useful training course aims to improve the outcomes of any human service agency or organization and uses methods clearly supported by contemporary research. The course teaches the need for high quality relationships, pro-social modelling and reinforcement, role clarification and problem solving. The Cognitive Centre Foundation is the only organisation in the UK that is approved by Chris Trotter as a provider of pro social modelling training based on his work.
Victim Awareness
This specially designed course is based around our own training manual and explores ways of teaching the offender that a victim is the result of the actions of someone else, that they are not victims of their own behaviour, that there are many ways of creating victims and that victimisation extends beyond the direct victim (the ripple effect). It also begins the development of empathy.
Motivational Interviewing and Young People
This brand new course outlines the basic clinical style of Motivational Interviewing and its application with young people. Participants will be taught the principles and strategies used in motivational interviewing and the fundamental underlying spirit of motivational interviewing. The training includes the use of empathic counselling skills and the use of OARS
An Introduction to Groupwork
This course introduces participants to basic groupwork practice and principles, teaches groupwork skills and allows knowledge transfer so that the skills taught can be utilised in practice.
An Introduction to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
This basic course aims to introduce the principles that underpin a CBT approach and demonstrates how these principles can be made responsive to the needs of children and young people. It provides participants with practical examples of these techniques and allows participants to practice these techniques so that, when relevant, they can be integrated into practice.
