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.
Here you can find examples of our programs:
Insight in Mental Illness
The human mind and brain are truly magnificent. But just like in the body, sometimes things can go wrong or diseases occur.
Especially at the workplace, extra care or actions may then be necessary to help someone perform at their best, or to prevent relapses or incidents.
Did you know…
That currently in every 100 people one is suffering from schizophrenia, one from bipolar disorder, and another from autism.
Which means that every time you pass by 33 people, you will have met at least one person suffering from these diseases – and these aren’t even the ones that are most common.
Manipulation – how to recognize and counter it
Wherever people are living and working together, influence will inevitably be exerted in one form or other. But some are willing to take this a lot further than we usually find acceptable. And often they can be so skilful at it, that you don’t even notice what is happening until it is already too late.
Manipulation is the most important form of undesirable behaviour, next to aggression. It is also the most common form, as many use their anger or aggression actually as a way to manipulate others.
Question: when you ask professional manipulators or fraudsters, what kind of people do you think they would say are easiest to manipulate?
Answer: those with a lot of self-confidence, who believe that they are so smart or have so much experience, that they cannot be manipulated.
A guided tour through the brain of a youngster
This presentation is a must for everyone working with children, teenagers or adolescents. For it will provide you with the latest scientific information about the young brain, that even most doctors and psychologists aren’t yet aware of. All of these insights will be presented in a simple and comprehensible way, translating directly to your everyday practice.
In the words of one of our trainees: ‘I never expected I could hear so much amazing novelties about a target group with which I have been working for over twenty years.’
