Tag Don’t Nag

Length:	1.5 – 2 hours
Description:	Mental illness is difficult, so when we run across something that’s easy, fun, inexpensive and effective it provides us with a jolt of positive energy.  With TAGteach you can:
	Identify unwanted behaviors
	Eliminate unwanted behaviors
	Focus on desired ones
	See how quickly behavior shifts.
	You will be taught to:
	Identify what behavior is wanted
	Create a plan to TAG new and wanted behavior
	TAG with positive reinforcement, Ignore unwanted behavior
	All of this while creating for yourself:
	Learn how to have fun TAGing, not NAGing, and change challenging behaviors to those that add to your recovery.
Objectives:	During this presentation participants will take learning theory for a fun, energetic and fascinating ride while actively participating in TAG technology.  Through that process each person will identify TAGteach Tools, TAGteach Triangle, Marker, Focus Funnel, TAG Point, TAG Phrasing, Self TAG, and the WOOF process.
