Delegates on our Train the Trainer course will learn to deliver Managing Signs of Stress training to families, professionals, and staff teams within their own services and organisations.
Studio 3’s Managing Signs of Distress Training equips supporters with the skills needed
to work with distressed individuals that present with behavioural signs of distress.
The course explores the use of person-centred Low Arousal Approaches by examining triggers, recognising when a person is struggling to self-regulate, and developing co-regulation and de-escalation techniques, all whilst thinking about environmental stressors, well-being, and avoiding the use of physical interventions or other restrictive practices.
This training will be delivered in two parts:
-
5 day online introduction
-
Weeks 2 and 3 of training will be delivered in person at a venue in Adelaide
Coming Soon to Adelaide in 2025!
