SUMMARY:HSABC In-Person Training: Anti-Oppressive De-Escalation Skills- V
 ancouver
DESCRIPTION:January 24, 2023\n\n \n\nIn this Anti-Oppressive De-Escalati
 on Skills training, we explore ways to center clients and help them in w
 ays that don’t perpetuate or exasperate power inequities. \n\nWe will
  look at ways to self-regulate, hold space for clients that may be displ
 aying aggressive behaviours, and learn ways to de-escalate intense situa
 tions.\n\nApproaching clients in this manner helps nurture and foster re
 lationships where people feel safe, happy, and housed. This approach pro
 vides the stability and safety needed for clients to work on the areas o
 f their lives they identify as needing work.\n\nSome of the main things 
 we’ll cover include:\n\n* Centering clients\n\n* Low-intensity situati
 ons\n\n* High-intensity situations\n\n* Prevention of escalation\n\n* Re
 lationship building\n\n* Self-awareness\n\n Venue: Caveman Keto Cafe
