Crisis, Stabilization, & Recovery
This highly experiential training provides a step-by-step, evidenced-informed approach that can be used as a crisis/disaster response protocol. Specifically, participants will learn how to 1) effectively and safely respond to those in crisis, 2) provide gentle, easy-to-use stabilization skills that can promote calming and regulation, and 3) increase long-term resilience for those still recovering from adversity. This method is both trauma and culturally-informed and flexible in its approach. Crisis, Stabilization, and Recovery ™ can also be used as part of a behavioral management program in schools and residential treatment centers, and as a de-escalation approach for hospital staff and first-responders.
