Participants will have at least three new ways of using behavior support planning during COVID (such as legacy planning, mask tolerance, encouraging humor, information management and resilience philosophy)
Behavior Support Planning is not a panacea for the poison. It is not, in itself, sufficient for change. However, most of us have seen Behavior Planning as a critical tool in our arsenal of skills for helping relieve suffering and aid in personal progress.
During a time of persistent uncertainty, fear and illness, it is easy for all of us to get behind or burned out so that behavior planning becomes more difficult. These sessions will offer practical and philosophical advice and examples of how to use behavior support planning during the pandemic to reduce the suffering of staff and the individuals we serve.
The sessions will also offer innovative ideas such as including humor into behavior planning as well as what to do if multiple staff turn over or are out sick at the same time (legacy and specificity planning). We will also look for any opportunities for us to share what is and what is not working based on experience. And we should all have some fun. Fun will be mandatory.
