Recent Webinars:

This interactive workshop will allow participants to explore a case study of an individual whose behaviour is risk to life. The interactive workshop will take participants on an experiential journey to challenge them to consider approaches and practices by offering them challenging questions which will make them consider their own values, belief, and cultural responsiveness. It will engage them in critical thinking that they can use in practice to reduce the use of restrictive practice particularly in diverse client groups, such those with complex intellectual disabilities, mental health difficulties or those who have been exposed to trauma.
