Tuesday, August 10, 2021

2:00 p.m.- 3:30 p.m. EST

When we understand how toxic stress impacts brain and body chemistry, we can choose de-escalation strategies that will help to restore safety and collaboration. This training provides psychoeducation about trauma, and it primarily focuses on practical trauma-informed de-escalation techniques, including strategies for managing our own stress responses when supporting those who are in crisis.
