Why Kids Don't Change Problem Behaviour (Even When It's To Their Advantage) - Part 2

Sometimes our students get stuck in cycles of negative, challenging behaviour - even when they've been offered support and intervention programmes in school. That leads to poor outcomes for the individual - emotionally and academically - and often results in disrupted learning for their classmates.

In this episode, we continue our discussion with Tom McIntrye, Sean Turner and Kenny Hirschmann about the Stages of Change model. They reveal their insights into why some pupils are so resistant to change - and how to use this information to dramatically increase the success of your SEMH interventions in school.
