Trauma-Informed De-escalation Tools January 17, 2023

Price: 20.00 USD

The de-escalation techniques presented are from Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI), a curriculum that was developed by Cornell University and is now used in schools, residential treatment facilities, and foster homes. After understanding how the brain functions during a crisis, we will learn how to engage a child with a calm voice and a non-threatening stance. A variety of support techniques will be discussed along with strategies and phrases to reduce power struggles.  You will learn to “say this….not that” to let children know you are an ally and not another obstacle in an already challenging situation.
