BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION COURSES

These are courses that are aimed at changing a specific behavior. These behaviors are problematic for the person in that they often result is emotional and psychological distress to the person, interpersonal and community difficulties. Changing long standing behavioural patterns is easier said than done. If it were easy we would all change. It is precisely because it is so difficult that often professional services and interventions are required to effect these changes. To make these behavioural changes takes time as the reasons that sustain these behaviours are often complex. Each course is designed to take the participant in a step by step manner through the change process. Each session consists of a didactic (educational / teaching) portion as well as participation in a group. At each session there is a monitoring of progress.
Structure
Each course lasts eight (8) contact sessions of three hours with two (2) follow up sessions making a total of 10 contacts.

Background
The Centre has as its focus the improvement and healing of mental health. It is a programme and family based facility rather than focusing on and treating of individuals. Each person joins a group consisting of no more than eight (8) persons and two leaders / facilitators. Generally each session lasts from 3 – 4 hours. Each session consists of three (3) components viz. diadactic (predetermined course material is presented by the leaders to the group participants), feedback to the material presented and interaction with the group where the person’s own experience is focused upon. Each programme has a set number of sessions ie they begin and end on preset dates. There are two follow up sessions which are of shorted duration and the time periods more spread out. The costs of the programmes are paid up front and in full to increase motivation, encourage people to complete the course and thereby to receive its benefits. The Centre does not provide facilities for crisis management.
