Introducing 7 Ways to Cause Prevent a Crisis, another training/conversation-prompting video peppered with humor, music, and overall quirkiness looking at the importance of paying attention to seven areas of support to reduce the likelihood of “challenging behavior” leading to crisis. You didn’t miss the trailer at the top of this page, did you?
- Build good relationships
- Make the good match
- Help supporters get to know the whole person
- Make truly person centered plans
- Make sure home feels like home
- Provide safety, comfort, and familiarity
- Listen for the person’s deepest needs and desires
In this 17-minute video, Peter looks at ten essential components of quality direct support. A video for training and discussion with people providing or coordinating direct support, Doing Our Best work is based on a workshop Peter offers, and its production was supported by the New Hampshire Council on Developmental Disabilities ( www.nhddc.org )
- Believing in positive possibilities
- Building community relationships
- Listening deeply
- Working as a team
- Embracing curiosity
- Understanding the power of language
- Supporting people through relationships with them
- Asking “What brings out the best in this person?”
- Having power with, not power over
- Questioning structures and policies that limit people
Lookout, Sundance!
“How do I get these!??” you ask excitedly.
It’s easy. Send me money. The CDs are $10 each. You can either
- Credit cards – shop in my store to buy online via credit card or your Paypal account. You don’t need to have an account to use your credit card.
- Email me and tell me how many dozen — I mean how many — you’d like, and tell me where to send them. Then send me money. If you could add a couple bucks for postage, great.
- Or just send the money (checks are fine): my mailing info
- If you live in the Madison area, you can request personal delivery! I will deliver your CD to your door and SING to you. Yes, this costs more, but it is (not) worth it!
