De-Escalation Training

The Great Lakes MHTTC is offering this training for individuals working in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI. This training is being provided in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.

 

 

DESCRIPTION:

De-escalating a mental health crisis is a very difficult skill set and starts with the worker calming themselves and maintaining their composure as they move toward the situation. Fear elicits a threat response in both the upset person and the one trying to help. This means that without specific strategies for appropriately responding to mental health crises, it is possible for the worker to inadvertently worsen the situation as they react to the “noise” of the situation. This training offers evidence-based practices on responding to mental health distress and crisis.

 

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Practice A de-escalation model
  • Pause: Introduce tips to get oneself calm
  • Listen: Identify the need or concern
  • Respond: Verbal de-escalation strategies to build cooperation

 

 

CONTINUING EDUCATION:

Registrants who fully attend this event or training will be eligible to receive 2.0 continuing education hours provided by the Minnesota Board of Social Work and the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy. Certificates are disseminated by People Incorporated to all qualifying individuals after the conclusion of the event or training.
