Behaviour Change Skills: Part 3 Cognitive Behavioural Approaches is organized by National Centre of Rehabilitation Education (NCORE) and will be held from Feb 10 - 11, 2020 at London Road Community Hospital, Derby, England, United Kingdom. This CPD Conference has been approved for a maximum of 11.25 CPD hours. Course Description: Helping individuals to identify and become aware of their behaviour is central to changing problem behaviours. Unplanned actions are often triggered by a chain of events, both internal and external, that the person may or may not be aware of.

Once identified a variety of strategies can used collaboratively to help people break these unwanted patterns. The ultimate aim is to help clients to develop problem- solving skills and become more expert in identifying their own health behaviour problems, exploring options and planning towards long-term solutions. Course Content: • Rationale for using behavioural and cognitive behavioural strategies for supporting changes in health behaviour. • Key underpinning skills: Advanced Interpersonal Skills; Motivational Skills. • Key strategies: Self-Monitoring, Goal setting, Identifying Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviour Relating to Problem Behaviours, Stimulus Control Strategies, Response Prevention Strategies, Cognitive Strategies, Lapse Management. • Integration into practice. Course Aims: To explore the use of behavioural and cognitive behavioural strategies that can be used for supporting changes in health behaviour. Learning Outcomes: By the end of the course participants should be able to: • Understand the principles of modifying health behaviour using evidences based behavioural and cognitive behavioural strategies. • Identify key behavioural and cognitive behavioural strategies and opportunities for their use in practice. • Demonstrate the use key behavioural and cognitive behavioural strategies. • Identify the needs and opportunities for further support.
