Upcoming Face to Face Workshop (see also our online workshops)

Support Workers face unique challenges in their role.

In any one day support workers can find themselves working:

Across a diverse cross section of clients with huge variations in ability, cognition, mental health, physical health, complexity, support needs, cultures, and ages.
Across a broad range of settings including in the home, out in the community, at social activities, in clinical settings.
In isolation, managing client concerns and situations on their own.

How can Support Workers gain confidence, skills, and the required headset to know how to deal with the day-to-day challenges and demands?

This 3-hour workshop will introduce Support Workers to the unique Bower Place framework that empowers Workers to be able to manage boundaries, ethical service delivery, reporting, difficult situations and, above all, have clarity about their role in the broader system.

Suitable for Support Workers across community services, mental health, NDIS, health, education and aged care this workshop will draw on case examples and equip workers with practical problem-solving skills.

The workshop is part of a major commitment Bower Place has made to developing therapeutic practice, service delivery, and training in Riverland SA, Victoria, and NSW.

About this event

It provides structure and process for meetings that maximises the quality of information produced in a meeting, the documentation of that information, and the prevention of that information from being lost, protecting all parties in the process.

Provides powerful contractual management and is best embedded in policy and procedure.

Cost effective and administratively efficient, removing duplication.

Remediates the fundamental inequalities that constrain problem resolution.

Aligns responsibility for problems with the authority to produce solutions.

Outcome driven with an eye to change

Ameliorates the misunderstandings and differences central to complaints.

Aligns the boundary between health, education and human services providers and promotes broad collaboration.

Manages student, parent, and school disputes and staff / leadership issues.

Deals directly with dysregulation, violence, abuse, and self-harm.

Transparent, inclusive, contemporaneous and legally protective.

A communication, recording and intervention process.

Learn the practice and theory of bower(note)™ in a full-day, face-to-face workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to analyse a case study that directly relates to their school context through the bower(method)™ framework for thinking through complexity.
