 What are participants saying about our workshops? If you would like to see a short video containing comments from the CDSM Support Project conducted recently, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0-ro2d9HOk 'Few people can convey the fundamental principles and applications of self-management as comprehensively and with such ease as Sue and Owen Curtis. The shift towards a patient-centred health model requires each health professional to reflect upon and evaluate their own attitudes, belief models and approaches to treatment - an often daunting task. Sue and Owen provide a clear road-map that makes this not only an uncomplicated journey, but an enlightening experience'. Chris Tzar MSc(Ex Rehab), BSc(Ex SC)., AEP, FAAESS Director, Lifestyle Clinic, Faculty of Medicine, University of NSW Committee Members, NSW Health, Diabetes Clinical Reference Group 'I hope my clients get as much out of an interview with me as I did in this Workshop. Thank you both so much'. AEP 2010 I thought the workshop was terrific and you did a great job to adapt your format to cater for the diverse needs of the very ecclectic group. Toni Ryan, Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Jointcare. Web: www.jointcare.com.au 'A very engaging workshop which presented ideas and motivational techniques in a unique and interesting manner.' ADEA member, Canberra 2009 'This workshop was fantastic.' ADEA member Hobart 2010 The format worked well for me because the session was broken up appropriately to engage participants and to practice techniques in a safe environment.' ESSA member The tools provided were extremely valuable. Those cards (CCS cards) are either safecrackers or sledgehammers, but they are seriously powerful tools to get people to open up'. AEP, Melbourne 2008 I am finding I'm getting some amazing results out of using some of the tools that you and Owen taught and it's getting easier the more I practice. Lyndall Dew, Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Optimal Movement Exercise Physiology Services. Email: info@optimalmovment.com.au Since the Adelaide workshop about a month ago, we have been using various tools as a compulsory assessment item. A senior EP modified the one given to us in the workshop to make it more 'assessment friendly'. It includes SOC, MAR, PAR and SMART goals. We are also encouraged to use any other tools which may be appropriate for our assessment. CPAA After using this series of tools on various clients, I have found the SMART tools quite useful, especially the barriers section which, at times, tend to reveal a deeper understanding of the clients' individual conditions. The CCS cards have been particularly useful when assessing clients with mental health conditions because the tend to have difficulty expressing their feelings when they are so depressed'.
