Please Join us for our September Webinar
Addressing Crisis with De-escalation Strategies
Tuesday, September 5, 2023 @ 1pm (eastern)
Presenters:
Jordan Hyler, MA, LCMHC, LCAS, CSI
Jennifer Barrow, PhD, NCC, LCMHC
As our country continues to rethink appropriate responses to individuals in a crisis, counselors are in the spotlight to model and implement effective de-escalation strategies. Crisis is self-defined and looks different for every individual, but there are universally effective de-escalation strategies that work in a wide variety of crisis situations. This webinar will offer counselors techniques to utilize in crisis situations and give counselors the tools to help manage their own mindset and well-being when de-escalating a crisis. This session will also provide de-escalation strategies across the lifespan.
