Person-centred Active Support Training Pack (2nd Edition)

The principles of active support are based on a sound evidence base from behaviour and learning theory and are explored in Person-centred Active Support Training Pack (2nd Edition). And as such are what we know works best for everyone who needs support to be independent, exercise choice and control and be a contributing part of their local community.

This training resource reflects the changes in the social care and learning disability context in the UK as well as in many other countries, and the valuable experience the authors have gained from 13 years of using the resources for training in many different settings.

Although initially developed for use with people with severe and profound intellectual disabilities, Active Support has much wider application and over the past 5 years the authors have additionally worked with those supporting children and young people (including in schools), children and adults across the autism spectrum, mental health needs, and physical and sensory impairments. The newly filmed video pieces and case examples that underpin the new resource demonstrate these wider applications.

This resource is designed for those who wish to lead face-to-face group-based training, which is still the recommended option for delivering training in person-centred active support to support teams.
The resource includes:

PowerPoint presentations for the training
Suggestions for how to deliver the training, including exercises and activities
Additional videos and photos which can be used to tailor the presentation to different audiences
A summary learner’s workbook with key points from each element of the training and space to complete the exercises during the sessions

Please note, when you purchase this training pack you will receive a free copy of the accompanying Self-study Guide which forms the script for the training. Take a look at the guide here: Person Centred Active Support Self Study Guide 2nd Edition

Applying Person-centred Care in Mental Health

Applying Person-centred Care in Mental Health focuses on the environment of inpatient mental health units. Here, a patient’s actions are often understood through reference to their illness; if they disagree with staff they lack insight or are aggressive, if they seek independence they are uncooperative and non-compliant, if they wish to be alone they are seen as withdrawn. Improve clinical practice with insights on applying person-centred care, focusing on empathy, respect, and recognising individual patient values.

Imagine being this patient, faced with situations where you are told your reality is not right, that you are a different person to who you think you are and that you have a mental disorder and need treatment, even though you do not think so. Imagine the impact this clash of values could have on you, where your values are routinely undermined, ignored, or subsumed within a medical paradigm.

This contemporary and unique guide will be valuable for all staff working with people with a mental illness. Its focus is on inpatient units, however it also applies to staff working in the community. The guide provides a broad understanding of values-based practice and how to work with people’s values from a person-centred perspective.

Developed by K.W.M. Fulford, values-based practice ensures that the person, as a patient, has their perspective acknowledged and considered in any decisions or actions taken. This book utilises a 10 principle decision-making framework to guide and enable clinicians to reflect on their engagement and clinical decisions. Using exercises and practice scenarios, values used in clinical practice, how they present in different situations and how they influence decision making are examined. It will assist you to critique and monitor your practice in order to maintain best care according to the patient’s perspective.
