WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND https://directory.cpdstandards.com/providers/human-givens-college/ Pain is endemic in our society and whatever the cause – back pain, migraine, arthritic pain, dental pain, irritable bowel (IBS), labour/menstrual pain, cancer pain, psychogenic pain, psychosomatic pain – it can be incapacitating. Chronic pain is any pain which lasts for more than three months and it is estimated that between 25–40% of our population suffer from persistent or chronic pain. The sociological and economic costs of this are enormous but it is in the personal human suffering involved – mental as well as physical – that the real costs should be measured. Many are desperate for effective help to relieve their pain and the associated effects, such as insomnia and depression. This online workshop – with leading pain and musculoskeletal medicine consultant Dr Grahame Brown – gives you important new information about how we experience pain – derived from the latest neuroscience – and a powerful range of psychological techniques for managing pain naturally, preventing it from escalating and speeding up healing. You will discover how people can be helped out of the vicious cycle of chronic pain and how, by working holistically through the bio-psycho-social model, suffering can be dramatically reduced. You don’t need to have any prior medical knowledge to learn from and enjoy the day – you will leave with a much clearer understanding of what is going on in the mind/body system, what you can do to reduce suffering when pain persists and ways to prevent chronic ongoing pain from developing. It is a key event if you work with people suffering from pain at any stage (from recent onset, recurrent to persistent) or if you would like to find out how to successfully manage pain without medication. You will learn a wide variety of pain management techniques, which can easily be integrated into your work, to help relieve pain and promote recovery – often in just one session. > Dr Grahame Brown has a real gift for helping people heal themselves – I know: > I’m one of them! > > CHRISTOPHER BUCKLEY, PROFESSOR OF RHEUMATOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM    WHAT WILL YOU LEARN * An increased understanding of how we perceive pain (from the latest neuroscientific research) and what is happening in the mind/body system * A road map for helping people out of the vicious cycle of chronic pain, or to stop it developing in the first place * The confidence and skills to help patients suffering from persistent pain of whatever cause – no need to feel ‘heart-sink’ with some patients anymore * An understanding of what is going on when pain persists – and what you can do about it * How to reduce the risk of chronic pain developing – prevention is better than cure – and identify the factors that make it likely * A range of psychological chronic pain management techniques to use with your patients or yourself * The importance of the bio-psycho-social model in reducing pain and accelerating healing * How to produce significant pain relief by changing the way people think about their pain – in minutes * An understanding of the value of pain displacement and how to use the brain’s ‘reality simulator’ * What the latest neuroscience tell us about the experience of pain * How to use guided imagery, relaxation and distraction to promote chronic pain relief * How to deal with constant pain and promote healing * How healthcare professionals can make their consultations more therapeutic * How to avoid labelling patients’ pain as ‘purely psychological’ * The many myths about pain – and why some well-intentioned pain management techniques don’t work and more… No prior medical knowledge is needed for you to benefit from the day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE PROGRAMME The ‘Effective Pain Management’ live online course starts at 9.15am and runs until 4.00pm.

– how to react, support and move forward Discover how you can best help a young person who self-harms – gain the insights and skills you need to approach this distressing subject respectfully and safely, a better understanding of what self-harm is, why young people self-harm, and much more… -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Date: Tues 14th May 2024 * Accredited CPD Certificate: 3.5 hours * Length: 3.5 hours (with breaks) * Start time: 9.15am GMT (until 1.30pm) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > "This is one of the best self-harm trainings I’ve had, honestly..." > > EMILY LOVE, PRIMARY PREVENTION WORKER Live Online Webinar – Join Emily Gajewski [https://www.humangivens.com/person/emily-gajewski/] – an expert in helping people overcome self-harm – for her live webinar on Tuesday 14th May 2024.

Book your place and we’ll email you confirmation – you’ll receive your Zoom link the day before the event.

Then please register your interest below [https://www.humangivens.com/college/help-young-people-who-self-harm-live-online-webinar/#register-interest] – and we’ll email you when a new date is available. The aim of this live online training with Emily Gajewski, a highly experienced psychotherapist specialising in treating self-harm, is to give you a thorough, in-depth understanding of why young people self-harm and how to approach/react when helping someone in both the short and long term, including the essential skills most likely to effectively support the young person on their journey to find less harmful ways of coping – the webinar focuses on the most evidence-based knowledge and skills in this area. It will also help you find ways of calming yourself in moments of overwhelm to ensure that you can be as supportive and helpful as you’d like to be. WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND With the ever changing, uncertain world we live in creating a vast amount of pressure on children – emotionally and physically – more children and teenagers are experiencing extremely stressful, distressing situations, with many looking for coping mechanisms to help them deal with their negative thoughts, feelings and emotions. Self harm (including self injury) is hugely on the increase and rates are higher than ever since Covid-19 and the long periods of isolation and uncertainty young people have experienced in ‘lock downs’. A survey of 61 secondary school children by charity Place2Be, shows self-harm reports increased by 77%, from 48 to 85, from August to September 2021. Finding the right words to approach self-harming can be difficult – this online webinar was created to help you (parents, carers, teachers) approach this topic with empathy and confidence. Discovering that a young person you are caring for is self harming can be an extremely stressful situation. When we are highly emotional, it can cause us to react in desperate ways, which are often not helpful or supportive to the young person, even if our intentions are totally well-meaning. > “A really helpful, caring approach – it has clarified so much for me and I can > now see a sensible way forward.” > > MARTIN, PARENT. This course is relevant to a range of self-harming behaviours including: * self-injury * cutting, ripping or carving skin * burning skin * punching or hitting themselves * scratching or pinching (including dermatillomania) * poisoning themselves with tablets or liquids (or similar) * over-eating and under-eating (anorexia or bulimia) * biting yourself (dermatophagia) * inserting objects into your body * overdosing, exercising excessively * pulling your hair (trichotillomania) * getting into fights where you know you will get hurt WHAT YOU WILL LEARN * What is self-harm? * Why young people self-harm * How common is self-harming * How to approach the subject (building rapport, trust…) * How to react if your child (or any young person) tells you they are self harming (what not to say and do) * The distinction between self harm and a suicide attempt * The addictive element to self harm * How to help a young person break the addictive pattern * Helping a child in the short- and long term * The influence of social media and peers * Keeping your child safe * Looking after yourself (managing stress, anxiety and worry for the household) * Finding professional help View booking details [https://www.humangivens.com/college/help-young-people-who-self-harm-live-online-webinar/#price] WHO THIS TRAINING IS SUITABLE FOR * Parents, other family members and/or carers of children and young people who are at risk of self harming or currently self harming. * Anyone who works with young people and needs to know how best to help when someone discloses that they self-harm or who they suspect may be self-harming. * Therapists and counsellors who want to gain a better understanding so they can support families with a member who self harms. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE PROGRAMME The ‘How to help young people who self harm’ live online webinar starts at 9.15am and runs until 1.30pm (GMT). * 9.15am Join the Zoom meeting * 9.30am Understanding self harm * 10.45am Comfort break and discussion * 10.55am How to approach self harm and be most helpful * 12.00pm Comfort break and discussion * 12.10pm Creating the optimal conditions for recovery * 1.30pm Webinar ends -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS COURSE HAS BEEN INDEPENDENTLY ACCREDITED BY THE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED CPD STANDARDS OFFICE FOR 3.5 HOURS OF CPD TRAINING.

These are designed to be done on Zoom or in person and are flexible around your busy schedule. Our modules were created to be easy to understand while providing the resources needed to elevate your construction business. Here is a more in-depth look at what to expect from our modules: Module 1: The C.O.D.E Breaker: The Business Fundamentals This module will encourage you to deep dive into your why and break the business C.O.D.E. You’ll be shown the importance of knowing why you started the business, how you can build a business while remaining authentic, and what needs to be done to ensure you create and support a solid foundation moving forward. During this module, you’ll discover how to successfully build a business in the construction industry, from the fundamentals and foundations to the growth. Lastly, we’ll review your vision, values, and purpose, show why these are critical areas, and allow you to establish a real business for you and your customers. Module 2: Your M.E.N.T.A.L Agility: The Entrepreneurial Mindset With this module, we’ll focus on self-leadership and how you should constantly be developing the ‘inner game’ or minder and the ‘outer game’ or action. The inner game consists of intention, self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-efficacy. These must be used to achieve personal mastery, while the outer game consists of influence and impact. M.E.N.T.A.L. agility is your key to all success and failure, meaning that without leading yourself, you’ll never find business success. For us, your M.E.N.T.A.L. agility is made of five key components that enable you to transition from owning a business to thinking and planning like an entrepreneurial business owner. Module 3: The T.I.M.E Multiple: Working ON or Working IN The point of this module is to help you understand that you can’t manage your time; you can only manage your use of time or your self-management skills. It’s vital to have strong self-management skills to be more successful at work. We’ll explore ways to help maximise your time and identify your High Payoff Activities. The T.I.M.E. multiplier is about accepting that you cannot do everything yourself. Instead, it would be best if you focused on your high-payoff activities. Our goal is to teach you to say it’s okay to say no. We’ll show you the importance of recognising the significance of all your decisions. Along with that, we focus on unique planning and defining processes to bring the future into the present. Module 4: The Business P.R.O.B.E: The Numbers Game Understanding your finances is essential as it allows you to make informed decisions that have the potential to make significant impacts on your business, growth, and even your bottom line. We want you never to leave money on the table again. When you know the difference between markup and margin, fixed and variable costs can make the difference between owning a business and the business owning you. Understanding your business numbers will increase your revenue and profitability and even grow your business. Module 5: High-Performance T.E.A.M.S: The Well-Oiled High-performing teams are more than a group that works together. A high-performing team has clear priorities and purposes and shares an understanding of how each team member or subcontractor prefers to approach work. The foundation of a high-performing team or business starts with trust. The development starts with creating an environment where leaders and team members can openly disclose which strengths they feel they bring to a team and what support they need to be their best selves. Truth is that all people’s problems directly reflect the business owner’s leadership and management. When a team doesn’t do things your way, they probably have no idea what your way is. Module 6: G.O.A.L.S: Setting & Defining the Accountability System Everyone works best with clearly defined goals, from completing a refurb on a budget or growing your construction business to over 10M annual profit. Remember the old saying, through a goal with a plan, is just a wish! We’ll teach you our tried and tested process for setting and achieving your objectives by focusing on what matters most. Reviewing your daily, weekly, and monthly goals, we can help you make high performance a habit. Best of all, you’ll create a detailed 12-month business development plan to get your personal and professional goals moving in the right direction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEET THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS TRAINING PRESENTERS DERRICK MATHESON: TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AND TRAINER OF BUSINESS GROWTH ACADEMY A seasoned business owner, Derrick understands the challenges UK construction and property development professionals face.
