Specialized Skills
Because of the extensive professional knowledge we possess of – among other things – medicine, (neuro)biology and behavioural sciences, Evolae Institute has the ability to create specialized training programs for people dealing with complex target groups. Like for example youth workers, police, or municipal officials.
All of these training programs are designed to present advanced information in a simple and comprehensive way, so it can be easily understood by everyone. You can expect lively presentations, filled with many practical examples and compelling stories. These presentations are highly interactive, with ample opportunity for trainees to ask questions or present cases.
Our presentations range from workshops forming an easy accessible introductory tour through a subject to complete training programs in which theoretical knowledge is immediately translated into practical skills.
All our programs can be presented in English, German or Dutch.

Insights in Mental Illness
The human mind and brain are truly magnificent. But just like in the body, sometimes things can go wrong or someone can be affected by a disease. In these situations, extra help or guidance may be necessary, especially at school or at the workplace.
These training programs are designed for everyone who gets to work with people suffering from mental illness, but doesn’t have a medical degree or thorough knowledge of psychiatry.

Manipulation – how to recognize and to counter it
Wherever people are living and working together, influence will be used. Sometimes in a clear and direct way, but often in an indirect and far more subtle form as well. And then there are some who are so skilful at it, that you don’t even notice what is happening until it is already far too late.
Manipulation is the most important form of undesirable behaviour, next to aggression. It is also the most common form, as anger and aggression are used by many as a basic manipulation technique.
Question: what kind of person do you think would be easiest to manipulate, according to professional manipulators or fraudsters?
Answer: someone with a lot of self-confidence, who believes to be so smart or to have so much experience, that they cannot be manipulated.
