This training will review potential issues leading to an escalated event, practical tools to help de-escalate crisis including skills that can be practiced during a crisis, and how to support people before, during, and after an escalated situation. There will be time for ample discussion and for the audience to bring examples of situations they have been involved in as volunteers as well as ask questions of the presenter and other audience members.
