Are you looking for effective ways of managing difficult or risky situations?
-
Do you want to build your skills around de-escalation?
During this interactive, scenario-based online workshop on 03 October, you will focus on yourself and your response to challenging behaviours. You will then explore effective ways of managing difficult and / or risk situations, with the aim of building your verbal de-escalation skills.
During the workshop you will:
- identify behaviours that ‘push our buttons’
- identify strategies for self-control in the face of aggressive and/or distressed behaviour
- identify why young people become angry or defensive, and recognise the early warning signs
- discuss how trauma impacts and influences behaviour
- describe a range of assertive techniques to help people regain control
- discuss the importance of debriefing following challenging situations.
