About the Event
Join us to learn techniques for safely helping our guests whose behavior may be stressful for our other guests and our volunteers. Kate Gillespie, licensed clinical social worker, will provide training to our food pantry volunteers and anyone who works with or is interested in working with this community, on how to communicate effectively to de-escalate crisis moments. (In person only)
Please RSVP to Outreach@trinity-episcopal.org.
De-escalation training provides an overview of skills and assessment so that front line workers can connect with clients, maintain personal safety, and recognize when someone might need a higher level of care. The training focusses on a client-centered model and believe that each person deserves respect for their process. Our role is to be available to help out where we can, with the least intervention necessary to facilitate a healthy and safe process for everyone.
