3 x Live Zoom sessions hosted by Dr Hannah Dennis

It's time to get real.
Ask yourself a few questions
As you come to the end of the financial year, are you thinking about how you'd like to develop your service next year?
Do you spend your time fire fighting, sorting out pressing daily issues and completing endless rotas and paperwork, so developing a service plan gets pushed to the bottom of the pile?
Have you heard about trauma informed organisations, positive behaviour support and other psychological terms but are not sure how to go about implementing changes?
Would you like to have a service which empowers service users and retains staff, thus reducing the budget for agency staff and recruitment?
Does this resonate?
Develop a bespoke service vision
Develop your own vision and personalised action plan that empowers everyone in your organisation and service, from service users to staff so that you can demonstrate that you are responsive and meeting people's needs..
Consider the steps
Consider the ways in which trauma-informed care needs to encompass all levels of the organisation and the steps you can take to build responsiveness to trauma throughout your care, ensuring that you are offering safe services, where users are protected from abuse and avoidable harm.
Positive Behaviour Support
Reconsider the use of positive behaviour support and how it can be used to enrich the lives of your service users, providing meaning to the many tick box forms you and your staff have to complete so that your support for service users leads to good outcomes for them.
Develop a strategy for your own and staff development and wellbeing
Identify ways to develop your strategy for staff recruitment and retention, reducing your overall budget, as you rely less on agency workers. Ensure the core values of care, kindness, dignity and respect underpin all your plans.

What to expect during the Vision Leaders Workshop
Day by Day
Day 1
TUESDAY 11th March
Let's get real about what's happening in your service. Is your service truly person centered? Are you furthering the trauma for your service users? How happy are your staff? What areas need to be developed?
But don't worry it will definitely not be all negative, doom and gloom, you'll start to see the possibilities for the future and how you can transform your service into a gold standard beacon.
Day 2
WEDNESDAY 12th March
What exactly is trauma-informed care? Is it just another buzzword?
And why is Dr Hannah so frustrated that PBS has just become another tickbox exercise, that does little more than act as behavioural control?
How can you develop a service that truly considers the service user's journey and ensure that they are reaching their full potential with you?
Day 3
THURSDAY 13th March
Creating a plan of action. What can you do? How can you keep yourself accountable? What about your own wellbeing and staff wellbeing? By the end of the workshop you'll have a clear plan of the changes you wish to make, and the steps you need to take in order to make them.
