PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAININGS & WORKSHOPS
Facilitated by Highly Qualified Professional Consultants
01 - CRISIS INTERVENTION & PREVENTION
"Crisis Intervention and Prevention Training" (C.I.P.) is a non-physical crisis intervention training, focused on preventive, verbal intervention and tertiary strategies for managing individuals with potential for demonstrating aggressive behaviors. C.I.P. concentrates on understanding the at-risk individual, preventive tools, verbal deescalation techniques, and post-event processing. DRB’s goals are to explore our current approaches, then stretch our critical thinking to a Holistic lens, which invites the escalated individual to participate in their own deescalation, thus establishing new foundations to ensure safety and security.
"Boundaries Within the Workplace” explores and defines professional boundaries and its components, as well as the ethical implications when encountering a client, family and/or detained youth. This training will explore risk factors and the potential ramifications of boundary crossing while gaining a greater understanding of appropriate practice while working with youth in foster/residential/custody settings. Employee protections and how to avoid pitfalls will also be examined within this training.
