Trauma Informed Screening, Assessment, and Crisis Response Two-Part Training: Crisis Response and De-Escalation

This is a two-part training. Upon registering, you will automatically be enrolled in both the 11/2 and 11/4 sessions.

Training Description:

Part 2: This training offers an understanding of trauma, its impact, and how this may contribute to difficult encounters with our clients.  We will review some basic principles of what trauma is and how it affects the brain. More specifically, how the brain’s arousal system perceives danger or threat when addressing challenging encounters with program staff.  We will explore what and how a trauma-related trigger may contribute to challenges in developing a safe and therapeutic relationship with your client.    We will review safe approaches in addressing a client who may be struggling and offer strategies to de-escalate a difficult encounter, manage your reactions and safety, and create an opportunity to provide your client with effective coping strategies.

Training Objectives:

After participating in this training, including Part 1 and Part 2, participants will be able to provide trauma-informed care during the screening and assessment process as well as during times when the client may exhibit challenging behaviors.  By enhancing the staff’s ability to provide trauma-informed screening and assessment and strengthening their ability to safely manage challenging behaviors we hope to improve the quality of care provided to those with trauma histories.
