Group Parenting and Behaviour Support Training

Attachment Matters’ group parenting and behaviour support training is for parents and care-teams providing care for children in the out of home care sector, who have complex needs and behaviour, including those with Behaviour Support Plans (BSP’s).

Our group parenting and behaviour support training explores the field research underpinning contemporary therapeutic parenting practices and functional behaviourism to foster a unified, and trauma-informed, approach to care delivery. It provides the opportunity for care-teams to develop evidence-based, therapeutic, trauma-informed care plans, including behaviour modification strategies. It also explores the processes of functional assessment and applied behaviour analysis, to give insight into the rationale underpinning each BSP and the typically strict guidelines around their implementation.

Therapeutic parenting strategies and interventions are aimed at strengthening child-caregiver relationships to increase children’s capacity for internal self-regulation. Behaviour modification strategies, and the understanding of functional assessment and applied behaviour analyses, aim to support parents and care-teams in their consistent implementation of behaviour modification strategies, or BSPs.

What to expect from our Group Parenting and Behaviour Support training

The group parenting and behaviour support training is delivered over 12 hours, which is split into 2 consecutive days of training. To make the most of these sessions, we encourage as many people in the child’s care-team as possible to attend together, and complete both sessions.
