Brief Action Planning
This concise program will support you in making your “brief” interactions successful for you and your patients
Overview
Tailoring support to where people are at recognizes that individuals possess different levels of knowledge, skill and confidence in managing their health. The typical approach to coaching and care planning drives a sense of urgency, emphasizing where a patient should be instead of what a patient is capable of currently doing.
Brief Action Planning (BAP) is based on the premise that motivation comes from within the person. The clinician’s role is to guide people toward creating their own plans, adjusting support as needed, and always seeking to build confidence in those they work with.
This program helps health professionals who:
- Are struggling to help patients set action plans that work
- Are frustrated with the time constraints of an appointment
- Have patients experiencing ambivalence or low confidence
Topics include:
- Define BAP and understand the theory behind it.
- Demonstrate the three questions and five skills of BAP.
- Understand how they might be able to apply BAP in their practice.
Program Description
Flexible in its approach, BAP is available as a 2 or 3 hour workshop depending on the needs of the individual or organization receiving the training. Designed to be delivered for small groups (max 20 people), workshop participants learn a highly structured, stepped care, self-management support technique. Comprised of a series of three questions and five skills, BAP is an efficient and effective tool for use by health and social service professionals supporting people to make changes in their lives.
This workshop requires active participation. As per our licensing agreement, participants must use a device equipped with a camera and microphone (such as a computer, tablet, iPad, or Android device).
