At some point in your career, and perhaps at many points, you will have to de-escalate someone regardless of where and how you practice. De-escalating has its art and science, and you may have heard several different ways to proceed, or none at all. "What really works? What makes a difference? What makes someone more likely to escalate and is there anything I could do?" The answer is here with SWEET De-escalation Skills Training. Register, learn new skills, enhance your practice and make a difference.
At the end of this webinar, you will:
- Master the 7 Steps, 9 Do’s and 9 Don’ts of effective de-escalation
- Master the How of each step.
- Have a framework to use each step and implement the do’s and avoid the don’ts.
- Master the use of critical thinking in the area of de-escalation.
- Amass tools for you to feel empowered, prevent burnout, and enhance excellent patient and client care.
