In this training, participants will learn how to recognize the factors that contribute to escalation in both individuals and situations, while considering the broader situational context. Participants will explore the hierarchy of the brain and Dr. Bruce Perry’s 3 Rs to better understand why certain individuals or environments may be more prone to escalation. The session will also examine the full cycle of escalation alongside the Window of Tolerance framework. Through interactive case scenarios and group problem-solving, participants will practice applying strength-based strategies to support regulation and de-escalation. Two Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW, LCSW, LPC, LCPC). If you would like to request CEUs, you may do so in the evaluation survey sent after completing this training.
