Training and Coaching Options
Since 1992, Studio 3 trainers have offered training and coaching for individuals working with adults and children facing various challenges, from Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) to intellectual disabilities. Our courses, informed by academic research, are designed to equip carers in residential homes, psychology workers, parents, teachers, and many more with the skills to manage distressed beheaviours, and their own well-being.
We offer a number of training courses dependent on the needs of the individual or organisation, including training in Low Arousal Approaches, Managing Signs of Stress (formerly Managing Challenging Behaviour), and Crisis Management. On a case-by-case basis we also offer training using a ‘bespoke’ approach, whereby our training is tailored to the needs of the individual. We strongly advocate the need for additional coaching on site, whereby circumstances can be assessed and further guidance provided. We also offer a Train the Trainer programme for participants who wish to become part of our team of trainers here at Studio 3.
Please select your area of interest from the training menu or contact our office to arrange a bespoke course
Look and See Courses
Our training is very different from our competitors. If you are interested in a Studio 3 programme, or have questions about changing from your current system to us, we advise that key staff can attend a 3-day ‘Look and See’ event.This event is the easiest way to introduce yourself to Studio 3's training philosophies, and to determine, at a low cost, whether our services could be helpful to you or your organisation. This event can be attended by family members and professionals alike, and is ideal for organisations considering our services to send along a nominee to find out more about our approaches. These events are available on request to be held in your organisation or locally.
These events are informal and allow people to experience our training and discuss how it could be applied to their organisation. We encourage debate on these events, and challenge participants to consider their current practice. Participants from organisations often ask about the following:
-
How will low arousal approaches fit with my organisational ethos?
-
What processes are required to change from our current methods of physical intervention to restraint reduction?
-
What should my training strategy look like?
-
How do we create culture change in the area of restrictive practices?
To book a Look and See event for your organisation or service, or to inquire further, please contact us at training@studio3.org.
