The National Federation of Voluntary Bodies hosted two 2-day Seminars in June 2014 with Keynote Speaker David Pitonyak. David Pitonyak was one of six international presenters at the Immersion Event, which took place in Killarney in April 2013. In the feedback from this event people expressed an interest in hearing more about his work. In this regard the National Federation have invited him to Ireland to facilitate two workshops on two separate topics.
Workshop 1: Beyond Behaviours - Tuesday & Wednesday, 17th & 18th June 2014
This workshop examines ways we can help the person served to achieve a sense of confidence, competence, and a sense of well-being. This 2 day workshop examines strategies for supporting not only an individual who experiences disabilities but also the needs of their caregivers.
Workshop 2: The Importance of Belonging - Thursday & Friday, 19th & 20th June 2014
Being connected to the people we love is critical to our emotional and physical well-being. Many people experiencing our services are sick from loneliness. This 2 day workshop is about ideas for moving beyond interventions and coverage to a system that supports enduring, freely chosen relationships and involves problem-solving with teams.
Cost per Workshop:
Each workshop costs €150 per person per 2-day workshop. However there is a reduced rate of €100 per 2-day workshop for people with disabilities or their family member.
