De-escalation with Care Workshop

This workshop will be held in Meeting Room 3.

De-escalation with Care is a 1-hour interactive workshop designed for caregivers, family members, and professionals who support individuals living with severe mental illness. Grounded in compassion and evidence-based strategies, this training equips participants with practical tools to recognize early signs of crisis, manage escalating emotions, and respond in ways that reduce stress and foster safety. Participants will explore how empathy, communication, and awareness of personal bias can influence outcomes during high-stress situations.

The workshop emphasizes skill-building through real-world examples and guided practice, helping attendees gain confidence in maintaining calm, protecting relationships, and supporting recovery. Whether you are a family member seeking to better support your loved one or a professional navigating challenging interactions, De-escalation with Care offers a foundation of understanding and techniques that promote dignity, respect, and healing in moments of crisis.

Light refreshments and your own personal workbook will be provided for each attendee.
