Understanding and Managing Change: Skills to Assist People

Aim

Change is constant, yet some change is harder to manage than others. This workshop will explore change to better understand it. This workshop will look into aspects of perception and control and how these processes play a key role in managing the change before us. It will be useful for those in roles who want to develop their skills in helping clients to better navigate change, such as social workers, support people and health professionals.

• Understand what it means to help others focus on what they can control while minimising the focus and attention on issues they cannot control
