The Spectrum of Escalation is a visual model that I created a number of years ago. I use it for my de-escalation training and de-escalation strategies. (Thanks to my friend Stephen Schildbach of Schildbach Design for the recent update to the visual!).
The intent of the visual is to help people understand the ebb-and-flow of escalating behavior.
Each of the trainings listed below (de-escalation training, trauma informed care training, compassion fatigue, etc…) are geared towards audiences that work with potentially challenging populations of clientele. It is imperative that professionals have education and tools to manage the stress, struggles, and potentially challenging behaviors of the work they do, while still providing empathy and compassion in lieu of difficult interactions or events. This writer has a quarter century of experience providing direct care and support to clients and staff in a variety of settings. Trainings are intended for social service providers, health care staff, educators or other para-professionals who provide valuable service to a community of people who suffer from ailments, disabilities or are in any way a marginalized population. It is an honor to train and educate the professionals who impact the lives of so many people.
Finally, please know that these in-services are geared to be approximately 2 hours. I have people who find that they want 2.5-3 hours for the De-escalation and the Compassion Fatigue trainings. All of this can be negotiated to meet your greatest needs.
