Wise Webinar A Day Series:

Losing Control Stepping back to Positive Support

Please join us on Thursday, April 9th for our next webinar, “Losing Control Stepping back to Positive Support" with Chuck Goodwin.

The strategy of control and behavior management continued as individuals were introduced into the community. The strategies that encouraged dependence, helplessness and frustration didn’t work. This session will look at strategies of positive behavioral support in supported employment. We will explore the idea of focusing on the positive, understanding and influencing the things that are in our control by stepping back, listening and observing. This will connect to the Webinar tomorrow done by Dave Black on Negotiation
