Trauma Informed De-Escalation

If you work with individuals who have experienced trauma and are often in survival mode, you know that it doesn’t take much for tensions to rise and situations to escalate. This training will better equip you to understand what is happening before and during escalated situations, to be prepared with intervention strategies, and to feel more confident to step in and assist. This training is interactive and grounded in an anti-oppression framework and evidence-based practices like trauma-informed care.
