Join us for a program that will explore human behavior and the question of normal vs. aberrant behavior.  Diseases, psychiatric conditions and basic elements of personal discomfort can each play a role in behavioral conduct. This seminar will provide valuable information for professionals and non-professionals who are interested in some of the most common debilitating conditions among the geriatric population.  For those dealing with the challenging behaviors associated with dementia, mental illness or demanding seniors, these insights will dispel common myths, summarize current knowledge, and demonstrate interactive techniques for effective interventions. Caregivers who address the underlying causes of negative behaviors can sooth anxiety and create a positive interpersonal dynamic with immediate and satisfying results!   

Objectives:

  • Recognize abnormal behavior as symptomatic of an underlying cause.
  • List three common situations that alter all human behaviors.
  • Name three diagnoses identified as a psychiatric condition by NAMI.
  • Describe one de-escalation technique used to reduce an escalating behavior.

 

 

Join us for a program that will consider the questions that are being asked about workplace dynamics that compromise professionalism and personal job satisfaction.  This workshop will provide a forum for professionals and paraprofessionals who are interested in one of the common problems that plague the workplace: unprofessional behavior.  Lack of professional courtesy, communication, education and kindness lead to many problems.  Employees face challenges in the course of a work day, but none are as difficult as the situations that are emotionally charged.  When people get ‘upset’, professionalism flies out the window.  What insight is needed to dispel common reactions that lead to loss of control?  This workshop will explore the human elements of reactionary behavior and provide interactive techniques for effective and professional cooperation. 

Objectives:

  • Define Professionalism
  • List three professional standards
  • Recognize the negative impact of unprofessional activity on workforce outcomes
  • Establish and utilize non-verbal communication to demonstrate professional conduct
  • Name 2 characteristics of clinical confidence that put people at ease
  • List 3 purposes of Leadership and the qualities needed for each purpose
