As part of the ‘Professor Judy Dunn Webinar Series’ we are delighted to welcome Professor Stephen Scott, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Professor of Child Health and Behaviour at IoPPN, KCL, and ACAMH President. Stephen will share his expert knowledge and insights into the harmful long-term effects of disruptive behaviour if left untreated, tips and techniques that are effective, and how the evidence can deliver positive results.
The ‘Professor Judy Dunn Webinar Series’ will disseminate the evidence-based research, on different mental health topics, to help parents and those working with children and young people.
Firstly, there will be a brief introduction about the science behind disruptive behaviour and why it is important to get on top of it early if possible. Then there will be a description of how parents can manage this, including videotapes of the methods ‘Love and Limits’. Finally there will be a summary of the evidence base underpinning these techniques, showing that if they are implemented, they have long-lasting effects.
Key learning takeaways
- To understand the harmful long-term effects of disruptive behaviour if it is not treated
- To see some of the techniques that are effective in action on videotapes
- To become familiar with some of the objective evidence about what works
