De-escalation Skills: Core Concepts- Online

The De-escalation Skills course has been redesigned specifically for an online learning setting and will support workers to recognise when a person is becoming distressed or a situation is escalating. This condensed half-day refresher course is ideal for those with a foundational understanding of this topic and who is seeking practical tools and strategies to effectively respond in ways that promote positive outcomes.

Description

Target Audience: This course is suitable for individuals and workers in a wide range of frontline and support service delivery roles.

Sometimes people respond to circumstances and triggers in ways that can be challenging for workers to manage. Often this is as a result of the person’s distress or frustration and can be exacerbated by environmental factors.

 This course will support participants to:

  • Increase their knowledge and understanding of the impact escalation has on the brain and body and how that affects behaviour and reasoning.
  • Develop an awareness of the required skills and strategies in using the 3-step model for de-escalation.

One of WAAMH's most popular courses with community service organisations, local councils, government departments, and health services. The fully interactive online training session will be facilitated by two of our experienced trainers who have extensive knowledge, skills and experience in the mental health field. The course will be delivered in a four-hour session and participants will be supported to meaningfully engage with the course content.

Registrations are limited to 20 participants.
