Part of loving one another (every single other) is knowing how to help our friends, neighbors, visitors, and strangers who are having a difficult time staying calm and centered. Most of us aren't sure how to respond when we feel the heat rising or when we're interacting with someone who is behaving in unanticipated ways. We are partnering with Pawnee Mental Health to provide a free two-hour training to anyone who feels they would benefit. Our session will teach participants how to remain calm, use verbal communication strategies, create physical distance between themselves and community members, and employ critical thinking skills to pivot to other tactics in response to changing dynamics.
Please RSVP via the Facebook event so we'll have an idea of how many chairs to set up and handout copies to make.
