SDS Training Events

Seminars

SDS Seminars are large one-day events for a broad range of specialists from the caring professions. Stimulating, thought provoking, challenging and always practical - they provide a lot of opportunities for learning new techniques, asking questions, discussing difficulties and networking.

Copies of the powepoint presentation are provided on a free CD-ROM, along with re-usable worksheets, evidence-based reference lists and comprehensive further reading and resourse lists. There is no need to take lots of notes which gives you time to concentrate on the subject and participate in the discussion. All the above combined with video demonstrations and pair exercises make SDS seminars unique and memorable learning events.

Suitable for CPD and PREP. Certificate of Attendance provided at the end of the course.

ANGER THERAPY: HATRED, HOSTILITY & BITTERNESS
SDS Ltd presents a one day seminar on effective therapeutic techniques for dealing with anger. UPDATED for 2010
ALL NEW BRIEF SOLUTION FOCUSED THERAPY
Brief Solution Focused Therapy offers at worst an enhancement to existing therapeutic approaches and at best an alternative to other evidence based therapies. It utilises process techniques that predate CBT but which the latter has begun to embrace, whilst sharing a great deal with both Systemic and Client Centred approaches. Historically questioned regarding its applicability to “difficult clients” this seminar highlights it’s use with complex clients also outlining a range of techniques not demonstrated in previous SDS seminars.

Workshops

SDS Workshops are one-day practical courses in a small group with lots of opportunities to discuss your experiences and problems in the field, as well as getting direct advice from a tutor and meeting colleagues.

With printed course materials, small group work, role play demonstrations and generous time for questions and discussion - they are ideal for gaining new skills and "fine-tuning" your working techniques.

Suitable for CPD and PREP. Certificate of Attendance provided at the end of the course.
