The Regional Office of Education #33 is partnering with Bridgeway for an upcoming workshop on De-escalation strategies and techniques.
In today’s divisive world, conflict can manifest anywhere- from the office, to the grocery store, school, and even in our homes. Using basic, common-sense skills in verbal de-escalation can assist you in navigating crisis moments for a better outcome. The techniques used in hospitals, schools, & community mental health centers across the United States in the Non-violent Crisis Intervention curriculum are universal, easy to understand, and accessible to you. Our goal in coming together will be to learn & practice methods for avoiding crisis, managing conflict, and understanding each other better. Everyone struggles. Mental Health Awareness not only means advocating for better understanding of mental health challenges but our active participation in learning the many different ways to assist our friends, colleagues, and neighbors when conflicts occur.
This workshop is intended for parents/caregivers, professionals, and anyone interested in mental health de-escalation strategies and techniques.
