This virtual workshop describes everyday communication skills that can be utilized in the workplace to nurture peaceful conflict resolution as well as detailing more concentrated efforts during an interaction with an agitated individual to de-escalate and support safety. Based on best practices established by trauma-informed and equity-centered practices and psychological science, participants will learn how to assess situations, implement safety measures, apply de-escalation techniques, repair relationships, and debrief after incidents.
