The RAID® Course
 
A relentlessly positive approach to working with extreme behaviour.
 
RAIDing (Reinforce Appropriate, Implode Disruptive) gives a relentlessly positive philosophy
for working with extreme behaviour. Already attended by 10,000 UK professionals, RAIDing is especially relevant to working in secure and semi-secure environments. RAIDing provides a positive approach to be proud of, developing appropriate ‘green’ behaviour so that it simply overwhelms the problem behaviours in question. Importantly though, RAIDing also tells you
what to do when problem behaviour happens.
 
A 3-day course for 6-16 people.

Helping Angry and Violent People to Change
 
Written by William Davies, the author of Overcoming Anger and Irritability, this
is a top‘anger management’ course.
 
This, APT’s Anger Management course, focuses primarily on working with individuals (rather
than groups, which are covered, but more briefly) who are habitually angry and sometimes violent. It covers the problems of working with such people but principally focuses on
strategies for helping them overcome their anger and violence. Importantly it also recognises depression as a major cause of irritability and anger.

Handling the Stress Following Major Incidents
 
It is difficult to know what to do after a major incident, but ‘nothing’ is rarely
the best option.
 
Major incidents such as patient-suicide, assaults, severe self harm, hostage takings etc
can be very stressful for the staff concerned. Through lecture, case study and role play, this
course examines how best to respond to such situations to minimise the stress; when it’s
best to say little or nothing, when to get a group of staff together, what to say, what
procedures to follow, etc. It provides very clear guidelines in an often confused and
difficult area.
 
A 3-day course for 6-16 people. (2-day version also available.)
We bring the training to you for an all-inclusive fee of £4,110 plus VAT.
