Welcome to a basic tips video brought to you by Aptus Treatment Centre. In this video we’re going to look at the term reinforcement and how reinforcement can have a huge impact on behaviour.

This video will follow 3 scenarios, namely a teacher and student, a single-parent veteran with PTSD and a homeless man with mental health concerns, throughout a discovery process on how to use reinforcement to modify their unwanted behaviours. These tips and tricks can be used in many different settings and we encourage you to share this video with anyone who might benefit from them.
