Do you use video as a tool to promote your charity, business, organisation or campaigns? And if you don’t, do you feel as if you ought to? Videos account for more than 80% of all consumer internet traffic. So the pressure to use video as a marketing and PR tool has increased enormously. But the cost can be prohibitive. Using a video production company [https://roughhousemedia.co.uk/rough-house-services/video-production-content-creation/], such as ours, might be ideal, but for many it is out of reach – particularly if, like many of our clients, you’re a charity. However, there is an alternative, which more and more organisations are choosing, especially those which need to produce regular digital content. That is to produce the video yourself. Nowadays, you do not even need to invest in a video camera. All you need is your smart phone, some simple equipment you can buy on Amazon for as little as £80, plus your laptop or PC. This is why we have developed a new smartphone video training course, Smart Video. OUR SMARTPHONE VIDEO TRAINING COURSE COVERS: * Equipment – including setting up your phone, microphones, tripods and editing programmes * Planning your video * Techniques to give your films broadcast-quality polish * Getting the perfect shot – including shot sizes, positioning the camera, framing, lighting, sound, sequences and backgrounds * Filming interviews * An introduction to editing * Producing videos for social media BESPOKE TRAINING The course can be tailored to the type of videos you need to make. If most of your videos will be interviews, we’ll focus on presenting your interviewee in the best possible light – literally. If, on the other hand, you need to film buildings, events or products, we’ll tailor the course accordingly. If your video needs a script, we’ll give you tips and techniques on how to “write to pictures”, so your messages comes across well. And on all our courses, we’ll give you a guide to the best equipment and apps to use to enhance your filming and editing. The smartphone video course will be led by Paul Curran [https://roughhousemedia.co.uk/rough-house-team/] who has many years experience producing, filming and editing films and videos, for the BBC and corporate clients.

1. Assessment and Planning: * Survey the area where you want to install CCTV cameras. Identify key areas that need surveillance such as entry points, blind spots, and valuable assets. * Determine the number of cameras needed and their types (e.g., dome, bullet, PTZ) based on the coverage required and environmental conditions. * Plan the placement of cameras considering factors like lighting conditions, obstructions, and the angle of view required. 2. Selecting Equipment: * Choose high-quality CCTV cameras and other necessary equipment such as DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) or NVRs (Network Video Recorders), cables, connectors, power supplies, and storage devices. * Ensure compatibility between cameras and recording devices. Consider features like resolution, night vision capability, and weather resistance. 3. Mounting Cameras: * Install cameras at the planned locations using appropriate mounting brackets or housings. * Ensure cameras are securely fixed to prevent tampering or theft. * Adjust the angle and direction of each camera to cover the desired area effectively. 4. Running Cables: * Plan the route for cables connecting cameras to the recording device. * Use weatherproof cables suitable for outdoor installation. * Conceal cables where possible to prevent tampering and maintain aesthetics. 5. Connecting Components: * Connect cameras to the DVR/NVR using appropriate cables and connectors. * Ensure proper power supply to cameras and recording devices. * Configure network settings if using an IP-based CCTV system for remote viewing. 6. Configuring Settings: * Access the DVR/NVR interface and configure settings such as recording schedule, motion detection, and video quality. * Set up user accounts and passwords to restrict access to the system. * Test the system to ensure cameras are capturing footage and recording properly. 7. Remote Viewing (Optional): * Set up remote viewing capabilities to access live or recorded footage from smartphones, tablets, or computers. * Configure port forwarding on your router if accessing the system from outside the local network. * Install and configure the necessary software or mobile apps provided by the CCTV system manufacturer. 8. Testing and Maintenance: * Test the system thoroughly to ensure all cameras are functioning correctly and recording as expected. * Regularly check and clean cameras to maintain optimal performance. * Update firmware and software periodically to patch security vulnerabilities and access new features.

If you want to be more effective in what you do, these are core skills to have…   Denise Winn previously taught this course, it is now delivered by Gareth Hughes WHY TAKE THIS COURSE Language is key to everything we do – being aware of the power of language to help or do harm is essential when we’re trying to help people. Knowing how to use it well can make all the difference to a successful therapeutic outcome. Paying attention to the language we use is central to the human givens approach to therapy and counselling: our choice of words is crucial in building rapport with people, learning more about someone – their unique qualities and abilities – in listening and responding, in providing motivation and in collaborating to agree goals and strategies for the effective resolution of their problems. The careful use of language is essential for other areas of life too: at work, home, with family and friends – and this  2-day course is accessible to all. It can be taken as part of the Human Givens Diploma or as a stand-alone course. You will gain a solid foundation in the most effective brief solution-focused strategies and language skills that are essential if you want to be able to help people as quickly as possible. By distilling the essence of proven brief therapy approaches and working in tune with the givens of human nature, outcomes can be dramatically improved and suffering successfully reduced. You will also learn how any team of professional healthcare workers can safely incorporate brief therapy techniques into their work with patients suffering from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, anger, OCD, eating disorders, addiction and relationship/marital/family problems, thereby improving outcomes and reducing suffering on an even wider scale. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GOOD TO KNOW This course gives you essential skills that are used in the successful treatment of a wide range of conditions, such as anxiety disorders, depression [https://www.humangivens.com/college/lift-depression/], addictions, self-harm, OCD and the rewind technique [https://www.humangivens.com/college/rewind-technique-training/] for treating trauma and phobias. They are also fundamental skills to have when using guided imagery and visualisation [https://www.humangivens.com/college/guided-imagery-and-visualisation/]. This course is an essential component of Part 1 of the HG Diploma. > I feel very excited and energised. I can't wait to start using these > techniques... > > OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST WHAT WILL YOU LEARN * The essential skills needed for successful brief therapy * New information about the APET™ model – why it is so important to construct therapy that is in tune with our how brains work (our emotional reactions come first) – this speeds up therapy and explains why purely cognitive and behavioural approaches can take so long * An ability to get to the root of the matter quickly by establishing which innate needs are not being met and why (the essence of effective brief therapy) * Quick rapport building skills * How to use the RIGAAR™ structure to improve therapy outcomes * Reflective listening and reflective reframing * How to use therapeutic language skills directly and indirectly to initiate change * Ways to use solution-focused questioning to create a framework for change * How to identify and use your client’s own life resources * An understanding of why the human givens approach dramatically increases the likelihood of therapy being brief, regardless of the presenting problem * A range of psychological interventions to use with common psychiatric problems: anxiety, panic attacks, depression, intrusive thoughts, relationship difficulties and so on * Promoting cooperation by developing realistic and achievable goals * How to identify exceptions (when the problem doesn’t occur) and get the patient to take credit for them * How to generate motivation for change in your patients * Separating the patient’s core identity from their problem * How to minimise or overcome resistance * How not to be drawn in to a client’s negative self-view * Great use of case histories to illustrate the skills covered * How to use the psychological laws of positive expectancy and concentrated attention * An understanding of why taking this collaborative human givens stance, reduces stress and pressure on you * Plenty of opportunity to consolidate what you are learning by practising the skills yourself -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW IS THE COURSE STRUCTURED? Held over two consecutive days, this skills-based practical workshop combines a blend of talks, demonstrations and exercises.  Each day starts at 9.30pm and finishes at 4.00pm, with 2 breaks for networking and refreshment and 45 minutes for lunch.

If you are a counsellor, psychotherapist, clinical psychologist, mental health nurse, GP, doctor, nurse, OT, physiotherapist, youth worker, social worker, health visitor, support worker or any other caring professional, and wish to be more effective in what you do, this course gives you the perfect opportunity to discover new, subtle but highly effective skills with plenty of time to practise to help you assimilate them into your own work. Many other professions – such as educational and business professionals – also find the skills and information covered highly applicable to and beneficial for their own work. It is also suitable for anyone who is thinking of a career in this field as these are core skills needed for successful brief, solution-focused psychotherapy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This course has been independently accredited by the internationally recognised CPD Standards Office for 12 hours of CPD training.

Stories and metaphor are a powerful way to stimulate hope and by-pass resistance – they can also enhance problem solving and creativity, beneficially impact the mind/body system and much more… -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Accredited CPD Certificate : 6 hours * Length 1 day (9.30am - 4.00pm) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Wonderful – inspiring, informative and empowering communication skills > masterclass > > JENI NELSON, PSYCHOTHERAPIST / HYPNOTHERAPIST WHY TAKE THIS COURSE Stories can be incredibly powerful therapeutic tools. They help bypass rigid views about life, enhancing the listener’s flexibility of thought. And by suspending ordinary constraints, they help people reclaim optimism whilst fueling their imaginations with the energy necessary to attain goals. In the physically ill, they can also stimulate the immune system and speed recovery. All successful psychotherapy and counselling involves storytelling and the use of pertinent metaphors, both of which tap into the natural way our brains work. We can’t know what goes on in another person’s mind but, if you perceive the ‘pattern’ of a story and understand that it could be useful to them at a specific point in their life, that is reason enough to tell it. Their unconscious, creative imagination will seek and find the ‘meaning’ relevant to their situation. No explanation, no direct statement of a story’s meaning can substitute for the way it acts on the hearer’s mind. Join us to discover more and learn how to source and tell such therapeutic tales yourself… > Gareth was fantastic, brought a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm as well as > stories to the course... > > PROJECT MANAGER > Wonderful practical skills - I was entranced the whole day... > > PSYCHIATRIST WHAT WILL YOU LEARN * How and why our brains work through ‘pattern-matching’ * How to use this profoundly useful tool for getting through to people stuck in the black-and-white thinking of emotional distress * A powerful way to stimulate optimism, hope and independence in distressed people * Increased ability to source and tell therapeutic stories yourself * Ways to enhance your own problem solving capacity, as well as being better able to help others with theirs * A new way to motivate and engage people * Insights into the mind/body communication system and how useful this tool can be for promoting healing and recovery * A great way to build rapport and bypass resistance * How to choose the appropriate stories and metaphors for different people, and when to use them * Practical ways in which therapists, teachers, GPs, managers, policy planners etc can apply this knowledge to their work * The ability to enhance flexibility of thought, creativity and confidence in your clients * How stories and metaphor can also help us diagnose where problems lie * A new love and deeper understanding of the value, resonances and resources within stories * Greater confidence in dealing with a wide range of people – and a solid understanding of, and practise in, the therapeutic precision of metaphor and more… > So informative and relevant to my everyday work.. > > SCHOOL COUNSELLOR    Pat Williams, creator of this course, talks you through its benefits -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE PROGRAMME The ‘How to tell stories that heal’ course starts at 9.30am and runs until 4.00pm. * From 8.30am * Registration (Tea and coffee served until 9.25am) * 9.30am How and why stories help people * 11.00am Discussion over tea/coffee * 11.30am How to find the right story for each situation * 1.00pm Lunch (included) * 1.45pm How to use stories as therapy * 2.45pm Discussion over tea/coffee * 3.00pm How to tell stories well: the three simple rules * 4.00pm Day ends -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://directory.cpdstandards.com/providers/human-givens-college/ This course has been independently accredited by the internationally recognised CPD Standards Office for 6 hours of CPD training.
