The BEARS Technique Training
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
- Reframing challenges by changing perspectives
- Staying in the present moment to feel stronger

Looking for an easy to follow and implement step by step coaching program specifically for children and young people?
HERE IT IS! No more trialling this or that, take the guess work out and apply a solid ten session program. Made for coaches, counsellors, therapists, NLP Practitioners and other individual mental health professionals.
This four day program focuses on delivering one-to-one coaching for any child aged 8-18 years.
As above, the program focuses on behavior change through internal language, changing focus, and reframing challenges. It is very common for children to not want to talk much ,or even be unable to express their problems. This is where the techniques and strategies in the BEARS Technique Plus Program can help the child to move on and start dealing with their unique challenges. This program includes the BEARS training as above but is much more in-depth and allows for deeper one to one connection with children and sessions – facilitating rapport, trust, growth and progress.
