Your Training Description
When you’re challenged by youth behaviors, in the moment you may have a lot of thoughts and feelings about the young person. Using the foundations of Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI) as a framework, you can reshape the way you think about challenging behaviors through an understanding of what underlies them in the first place. Join us to gain de-escalation and behavior prevention strategies. Take time to reflect on strategies you can use to keep yourself calm and collected while addressing challenging behavior or crises.
Your Learning Objectives
- Learn about the Conflict Cycle Paradigm™ to understand what motivates behavior and your role in supporting youth
- Build awareness of how neuroanatomy and trauma affect behaviors
- Gain skills that can be useful in de-escalating challenging behavior
- Recognize and reflect on personal hot buttons and how you can use those emotional signals to reframe your thoughts to more positively interact with young people
- Identify behavior support strategies and tools that help prevent or reduce behavior challenges
