Trauma-Informed De-escalation Strategies - TIDeS

This full-day training is designed to provide participants with critical skills in using trauma-informed de-escalation strategies. Research shows that trauma is highly prevalent in the general public and will likely play a role in interactions with an escalated individual. TIDeS™ not only considers the trauma of the escalated individual but also the person providing support. Participants will take a deep dive into assessing their own attitudes, boundaries, communication styles, and debriefing strategies. There is a focus on prevention and long-term reduction of crisis situations. Intended for all areas of the community, this training provides a universal trauma-informed approach to de-escalation.
Objectives:

• Understand the basics of trauma-informed care and the principles of de-escalating a potential crisis.
  
• Develop skills in assessing attitudes, setting boundaries, and communicating effectively.
• Utilize trauma-informed de-escalation strategies to encourage safe connection.
• Explore the application of strategies in different demographics using case studies.
• Learn strategies for debriefing following a crisis.
