July PD.png

Student behaviors can sometimes escalate quickly, leaving school counselors, teachers and administrators feeling powerless in a room full of students. 

Turning Down the Heat- Effective De-Escalation Strategies for School Staff explores responses to escalated student behavior, including common mistakes adults make and more effective approaches to de-escalation through a trauma informed lens.

Participants will leave with practical, ready-to-use strategies and will engage in real-life role-play scenarios from the presenter’s true experiences to explore and practice effective de-escalation techniques in a supportive setting.
