BEARS Technique Training

The BEARS Technique is a powerful 5 step behaviour management strategy for children and young people that works in LESS THAN ONE MINUTE!

Who is it for?

Individual mental health professionals; Therapists, Counsellors, Coaches, Neuro Linguistic Practitioners & other similar professionals

For Schools; Teachers, teaching assistants and learning mentors all attend a one day training, creating a whole school ethos. Everyone is on the same page; teaching children the same thing for a cohesive and coherent behaviour management strategy.

For CYP Organisations; professionals from companies / charities working directly with children can attend the training.

Approach

BEARS has a multi disciplinary approach which incorporates some excellent tried and tested strategies and techniques from CBT, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Visualisation and Personal Development Coaching that are powerful – therefore work fast.

Principles

Professionals need solutions that work fast and efficiently when a child is having a meltdown or spiralling. The BEARS Technique provides ownership of behaviours and allows the child to feel in control quickly and easily. When children are empowered, this builds confidence and resilience – a vital attribute for positive social and emotional growth and development.

Method

Professionals are taught how to deliver a three hour BEARS Technique workshop to children but it can also be used as one to one program over three sessions with any child. The one day training takes place in an external venue. Resources and ongoing support are also provided if required. Children need only be taught once, after which the BEARS Technique is practiced regularly (daily) thereafter and becomes a life skill. Consistency and practice strengthens and assimilates learning new behaviours that last and remain with the child.

What’s in the BEARS Technique Training day?

These are the topics that we cover in a full interactive day of learning about how to have a positive mindset, and achieve autonomy over emotions and behaviour.

• How the brain works and processes information – what is going on under the lid and why we respond the way we do to external factors
• How we can use that knowledge to help ourselves to be in control
• Emotions – understanding and accepting them and how mastering them can change everything 
• Understanding fear, stress, and anxiety – knowledge is power
• How deep breathing changes the game
• Understanding our belief systems – removing negative self-limiting beliefs
• How language affects our behaviours – using the best language to change our feelings and actions
• Changing the focus and direction of our thoughts and actions for better outcomes  
• Using the imagination to build resilience and confidence
• Using better mental images to change our feelings and behaviours
