Health & Social Care Training Courses

AIMS:
In a relaxed and informal atmosphere, group members examine the principle of assertiveness and, via self awareness, explore the behaviours they need to examine to enable them to take more control in their lives.

OBJECTIVES:
This will be achieved by:

• Analysing what is meant by assertiveness;
• Exploration of aggressive behaviour;
• Exploration of passive behaviour;
• Exploration of manipulative behaviour;
• Examination of the effect and outcomes of the above behaviours;
• The 'I' message - assertive behaviours that lead to respectful win-win situations;
• The language of assertiveness;
• Obstacles to assertiveness;

OUTCOMES:
By the end of the session, participants will have started to explore their relationship to assertiveness and will have considered how to behave differently in conflict situations.
