WAAMH’s Mental Health Training – De-escalation Skills – Online Zoom Platform

De-escalation Skills Training

The De-escalation Skills course has been redesigned specifically for an online learning setting and will support workers to recognise when a person is becoming distressed or when a situation is escalating, and it provides a set of tools and strategies to respond in ways that are likely to result in positive outcomes.

This course will support participants to:

• Understand what is meant by the term ‘escalated behaviour’, common triggers and when de-escalation strategies are likely to be effective;
• Have increased competence and confidence in responding to escalated behaviours by drawing on practical models, including ‘SAFE’ de-escalation (Situational analysis; Assessing danger; Facilitating de-escalation through personal preparation, verbal and non-verbal techniques and; Evaluating incidents);
• Practice techniques and strategies that can be used in a range of real-life scenarios; and
• Be mindful of the impact of responding to escalated behaviours on themselves and how to integrate self-care strategies to their practice.
