Remote Crisis De-escalation - Online Classroom

6:00-8:00pm PST via Zoom Meeting
Meeting link will be sent to registered attendees the day of the session.

Despite our best efforts, we may find ourselves in remote situations where we need to safely respond to a person displaying upset, angry, or out-of-control behavior. This virtual session is intended to provide an introductory-level approach to assisting a person in crisis, de-escalating unsafe behavior, and using a trauma-informed lens to navigating a crisis in a remote environment.

This virtual workshop is designed to complement “Remote Crisis Communication.” While neither is a prerequisite to the other, participants are encouraged to attend both sessions.

Seminar Notes

This presentation will encourage attendees to participate via meeting chat, opportunities for Q&A throughout, and at least one breakout session.
