De-Escalation of Challenging Student Behavior

Presented by Steven Winchell, Spero Family Services

 

This training covers de-escalation techniques when working with children who have experienced trauma. These children can exhibit challenging behavior or traumatic stress responses that can be difficult to anticipate and respond to. The primary goal of this training is to provide strategies to help children build the skills they need to reduce challenging behavior through relationship building and other strategies.
