A Special Mention

"I wanted to say a huge thank you for the 2 day restraint training you provided. As a parent I found it so comforting and reassuring to be trained with my son’s new staff team. Hearing how much emphasis was placed on values really impressed me. As did the training which really looked at avoiding having to use restraint. The training was really able to be tailored to the individual needs of my son which was incredibly helpful for all his new staff who I believe came away with a really deep knowledge of his triggers and how to de-escalate him.

I would recommend it to any parent in the position of their young person moving into supported living. Not only was it a great way to start building relationships with his staff but it was incredibly reassuring to know that the care company are really invested in finding the right training which focuses on treating their service users as people and want staff with the right values working with him. I can’t thank you enough for letting me attend. I know that some trainers would find it difficult training parents along side staff because it could have the potential to alter the dynamics so I’m really delighted you allowed me the opportunity.

A huge thank you from a very reassured mum!"

It was helpful that we had the opportunity to expand on the components of the course beyond the book, maximising the additional time, was really helpful. The trainer gave us the opportunity to engage with the ideas and relate them back to our own clients and activities.

This was useful to the end of helping us see how Timian could be infused with our work.
Since attending the Timian Train the Trainer course we have already implemented some of the worksheets - the post-incident debriefing guidance is now on our HR portal.

I am looking forward to enhancing our PBS plans with IRS models and using the crisis cycle to inform updates and improvements.
