Remote Crisis De-escalation

Seminar

Remote Crisis De-escalation - Online Classroom

Online webinar on how to de-escalate a remote crisis situation with Katja Hurt. A Leadership Development Series presentation.

  • Casual

Despite our best efforts, we may find ourselves in remote situations where we need to safely respond to a person displaying upset, angry, or out-of-control behavior. This virtual session is intended to provide an introductory-level approach to assisting a person in crisis, de-escalating unsafe behavior, and using a trauma-informed lens to navigating a crisis in a remote environment.


This virtual workshop is designed to complement “Remote Crisis Communication.” While neither is a prerequisite to the other, participants are encouraged to attend both sessions.

Seminar Notes

This presentation will encourage attendees to participate via meeting chat, opportunities for Q&A throughout, and at least one breakout session.
