Pilbara For Purpose is pleased to support the delivery of De-escalation Skills training by the WA Association for Mental Health, to the community service sector. Staff working for not-for-profits or Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations in the East Pilbara are invited to register their attendance for the in-person training in Hedland.
About the training:
Sometimes people respond to circumstances and triggers in ways that can be challenging for workers to manage. Often this is because of the person’s distress or frustration can be exacerbated by environmental factors. This course is designed to support workers to recognise when a person is becoming distressed or when their behaviour is escalating. It provides a set of tools and strategies to respond in ways that are likely to result in positive outcomes. The overall aim of this training session is to increase your confidence to be able to recognise and safely de-escalate an event. Participants will come out with:
- Understanding of the impact escalation has on the brain and body and how that affects behaviour and reasoning
- Increased knowledge of escalation curve, stages and triggers
- Skills in using the 3-step model for de-escalation
- Specific skills in youth de-escalation
- Ability to recognise escalation in self, and knowledge of strategies to self-regulate
