SUMMARY:Protect Our People: De-escalation Training
DESCRIPTION:Join Lavender Phoenix and 18 Million Rising for: \nProtect Our People: De-escalation Training\nSaturday October 25 from 10am-12pm PT / 1-3pm ET\nRSVP required here \nThis training will explore how to assess situations and intervene through verbal de-escalation skills and body language. There is safety in numbers. The more bystanders trained in these skills\, the more effective our interventions can be. \nSign up as an individual or with 3-5 of your friends\, family\, coworkers\, neighbors etc. to join you in this training. At the end of this training\, self-guided scenarios will be provided for you to continue sharpening your de-escalation skills. Practicing is crucial for being able to use these skills in real life and de-escalation is much stronger when more of our community is trained up in it. \nWe can Protect Our People and protect ourselves. See you on Oct 25!
