Hands-on approach for encountering challenging behaviour, managing challenging situations and increasing well-being
MENTAL HEALTH & SOCIAL EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE FOR STUDENTS
The mental well-being of children / adolescents has deteriorated and, at the same time, mental disorders and challenging behaviour have increased. We help education professionals encounter these challenges and identify, help and teach young people with impaired mental well-being. Here, the right and timely intervention is key, but more important in challenging situations, rather than learning new and different methods, is to encounter without preconceptions and ready-made solutions. How to do it - get help from our services
A successful school path is an important protective factor in increasing the well-being of children and adolescents and in preventing school exclusion. As children/ adolescents spend much of the day in school, it is important that teachers have the ability to identify and encounter mental health issues. The teacher is often the person who notices the challenges of the child and plays an important role in helping the child recover.
We offer our clients online training and online courses on selected topics. Our main focus is to help professionals working with children / adolescents understand the challenges of mental health, to face the challenging behaviour arising from these challenges, and to support growth and learning nonetheless. We state that even if a child's mental well-being deteriorates, it does not have to prevent them from attending school. It is our job to ensure this. At the same time, we support the adult's coping at work and professional development.
Our customers have been very satisfied with the practicality and clarity of our online courses. The courses offer flexible, hands-on assistance to the everyday working environment and 100% of our course attendees recommend our courses to a colleague.

Challenging behavior is the result of a child's difficulty to which they have not developed abilities. It is often an effort to cope with a difficult situation for the child themselves and to communicate and tell about their own world of experience.
Strengths and resources create the foundation for positive and desirable behavior. Thus, finding and reinforcing these traits directs behavior in the desired direction.
Foresight is key to preventing challenging situations. When you learn to read and notice the essential signs in a young person’s behaviour, you will be able to address the situation before it escalates.
When encountering challenging behavior, it is important to find the reasons behind it. So, always encounter the person, not the crisis, trauma or problem. When you see behind the behaviour, the child as an individual, you get to dig into the cause of the challenge.

Follow these steps to gain confidence in challenging situations and reduce their recurrence:
