Crisis Prevention and Management for Caregivers

Part Two - 1-hour interactive virtual workshop

Part 2 of a 3-part education series that will teach you how to plan to prevent a crisis in your home and ways to manage before, during and after a crisis has occurred.

This program is based on the principles of Safe Management Group® (SMG) which were developed by a team of psychologists, behaviour analysts/therapists and physical intervention specialists.  

• Safe Management Group’s Crisis Intervention Training program uses evidence-based practices and techniques

• This education series will be delivered by a clinician that is an SMG-trained trainer.

• Physical Intervention techniques will not be taught.

• No certification is offered for this series.

YOU MUST BE ABLE TO ATTEND BOTH THIS SESSION & PART 1.

This educational series will help you learn how to:

• Assess risk and prepare themselves, their children and their environment to decrease risk and increase safety.

• Build stronger relationships with your child and family members

• Understand your child’s behaviour and how to look for possible triggers

• Assess the development of an aggressive situation in terms of four phases and how to incorporate these findings into an understandable “escalation continuum”
