Pre-requisite for this course is De-Escalation 101: Understanding the Nervous System.

Building on the foundational concepts from De-Escalation 101, this session delves into the systemic and environmental factors that contribute to student escalation. Participants will explore universal proactive de-escalation strategies, practical tools for responding during moments of distress, and post-escalation strategies to support students and staff. Through reflection and discussion, educators will develop a deeper understanding of behavior as communication and refine their approaches to fostering a supportive school environment.
