LIFT: Supporting the Reduction of Behaviours that Challenge Workshop
The Supporting the Reduction of Behaviours that Challenge Workshop helps parents and carers learn and practice strategies to help prevent behaviours that challenge before they occur.
What to expect:
- members of our team will be there to welcome you when you arrive and will be happy to help if you are unsure where to go
- a quiet space is available should you need a few moments away from the group
- a relaxed, welcoming, and non-judgemental atmosphere
- practical strategies that you can take away and use at home
- opportunities to ask questions throughout the session
- a chance to meet other parents and carers
- tea, coffee, and refreshments will be provided, but please bring your own lunch
Here are just a few comments from parents who have attended previous workshops:
-
"I left feeling understood and less alone."
-
"The strategies were practical, realistic and easy to use at home."
-
"The facilitators were friendly, approachable and made everyone feel comfortable."
-
"I wish I'd attended sooner—it helped me understand my child so much better."

Watch our video
The 'Supporting the reduction of behaviour that challenges' video looks into the underlying reasons for challenging behaviour in children through a relationship-based lens. It covers:
- common causes of behaviour
- how skills like planning and focus (executive functioning) play a part
- why a strong, kind relationship is the best way to help
- how staying curious and staying connected leads to real change
