The RAID Course for Parenting

 
The RAID Course is a relentless positive approach to working with extreme behaviour,
and has been attended by about 11,000 professionals in the UK alone, many of whom
have applied its strong principles to working with children and adolescents. The RAID Course for parenting recognises this by overtly addressing this tremendously important group. Designed for foster-carers, people working in 'children's homes' and everybody professionally involved with children and adolescents, it also invites delegates to consider taking out a license to deliver RAIDing to groups of parents.

Psychosocial Interventions with ADHD
 
Powerful psychosocial interventions to help young people and those
around them.

 
AD/HD has become an increasingly common diagnosis in recent years and is one that can cause confusion and concern in parents and carers. They may already be ‘at their wits end’ in terms of responding to disruptive behaviour and can then be confronted with entrenched viewpoints about whether medical or psychosocial interventions are most effective – and even which ones are morally ‘right’. This course aims to take a dispassionate view of the nature of AD/HD and details what effective psychosocial interventions are available to
benefit both young people involved and also those looking after them.

There Must be a Better Way
 
Stopping self harm and replacing it with something better.
 
The title of this course captures the philosophy behind it. Self-harm, though inexplicable
to anyone who has never felt the urge to harm themselves, normally serves a very clear purpose. The secret of success is, therefore, to identify that purpose and achieve it in a
less traumatic way. Simple in theory, far from simple in practice, this course examines
exactly how to achieve it successfully.
