Training Description
This training is to help staff working with foster youth do community-based social work, case management, and residential work. This training will include how to assess for and deal with crises, including de-escalation techniques to use with clients who are experiencing a crisis. When working with youth it is imperative all staff know and understand their responsibility as staff in charge - and how to de-escalate clients when necessary. Powerpoints, ice breakers, case vignettes, examples, small group sharing of scenarios will be used.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to identify and assess conflictual situations with youth where attendees could use conflict resolution strategies (skill building).
Participants will apply and practice strategies (via role plays) of de-escalation and conflict resolution (skill building).
