Challenging behaviours
Are you looking to enhance your knowledge and confidence in identifying and managing behaviours of concern? Join us for an in-depth workshop designed to equip Occupational Therapists with the skills needed to support individuals facing these challenges.
Behaviours of concern can significantly hinder a person's ability to engage in therapy, participate in meaningful activities, develop independence, and maintain social relationships. As Occupational Therapists, it is crucial to navigate these barriers effectively and proactively work with individuals to prevent and address these behaviours.

Utilise Effective Communication and Language:
• Develop the ability to role model constructive language and attributions when discussing behaviours of concern.
Understand Biopsychosocial Factors and the 4 P’s Formulation:
• Identify the biopsychosocial factors contributing to behaviour change.
• Describe these factors using the 4 P’s formulation: predisposing, precipitating, perpetuating and protective.

About the Presenters:Â
Â
This workshop will be delivered by Occupational Therapists Belinda Renison and Nadine Holgate who each have over twenty years of experience in supporting people with ABI and their support networks in community settings. Both Belinda and Nadine are passionate about supporting people and their support networks to understand the nature of their executive function strengths and weaknesses and to co-create innovative strategies aimed at reducing the functional impact of their executive function impairments.
Belinda’s observations of the debilitating nature of executive function impairments post-ABI lead her to complete a Doctorate in Clinical Neuropsychology in 2010 investigating why formal pen-and-paper measures of executive function were often limited in their ability to predict everyday executive functions commonly experienced by people post-ABI. This research has informed Belinda’s clinical practice when assessing executive function skills.
Nadine Holgate works in regional Victoria and is passionate about building capacity for occupational therapists in both metro and rural locations to confidently work with people with brain injury in a collaborative, individualised way to achieve meaningful outcomes. Nadine has an interest in supporting families impacted by brain injury and completed her Masters of Clinical Family Therapy in 2009.
