Tuesday July 12: Employee & Family Resources EAP Workshop: Unplug the Power Struggle: De-escalate Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime | 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Communication is key to de-escalate any situation but oftentimes people struggle to communicate under stressful and traumatic circumstances. Focusing on empathetic listening and remaining in control of the situation are two factors that play into how well a situation can be de-escalated. Learn how to support anyone, anywhere, and with any issue and uncover how to avoid the wrong type of response that could make a situation worse. Course objectives are to review universal de-escalation principles that apply to any age, setting, or issue, explore the five keys to empathetic listening, establish ways to remain in control of any situation, and review different response techniques and identify which responses make situations worse.
