Mindful Resolutions® is providing a one-day, in-person training for Oklahoma Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs) and youth-based professionals focused on Mindful Negotiation and Youth De-escalation. This interactive training equips MDT members with practical tools to navigate high-stakes youth cases, manage conflict across systems, and strengthen trauma informed collaboration.

This one-day intensive blends practical instruction, scenario-based simulations, and guided application.
