All behavior is a form of communication, and escalating behavior is the communication of increasing distress. If their needs are not addressed, their level of distress may increase, which could escalate into a crisis. Crisis prevention training provides skills development in the four levels of an escalating crisis and identifies approaches for each level to prevent or de-escalate a crisis moment. All of these areas are addressed through the lense of trauma-informed practices.
Programs can be customized to meet individual district or school needs. Potential options are listed below:
Trauma-Informed Verbal Interventions-2 hours
Verbal Intervention Training (w/o disengagement or holding skills)-6 hours
Cost is $60/per participant for either the Verbal or the Crisis Prevention Training for materials. Two-hour session is provided at no charge and can be done virtually.
