Event Description
Using the "Gentlness" Mindset: Blending the Eastern and Western De-escalation Approach to Redirect Threatening Energy
The workshop is designed to introduce participants to strategies that address threatening behavior. Interventions will be introduced from a blend of Western and Eastern perspectives, that will assist a clinician in preventing or responding quickly and effectively if aggression or behavioral problems are presented.
The 5 skill level goals that will be addressed are: Prevention, De-escalation Strategies, Post Prevention, Physical Safety, and Self-Care.
A review of relevant clinical concepts will also be introduced to assist in strategically addressing an escalating crisis in a decisive and informed method.
The presentation of Eastern medical fundamental principles will underpin the elements needed to address an escalating situation, provide physical safety skills, and methods for self-care.
This workshop integrates group discussion, activities, and problem-solving simulations in order to meet the needs of the diverse populations we serve. These experiences will help attendees to implement the material presented, as well as assist in applying their new skills to the real-world challenges encountered in clinical settings.
