Description

Join us for an insightful session focused on understanding and managing behavioural escalation. This event will cover the key stages of behavioural escalation, providing practical strategies for de-escalating risk situations and effective crisis management. Participants will learn to recognise that behaviour is a form of communication and will be equipped to identify the specific behaviours associated with each phase of the escalation cycle. The session will also highlight the importance of early intervention and environmental supports to minimise situational and behavioural risks. Whether you work in education, healthcare, or community services, this session offers valuable tools and knowledge to help you respond confidently and proactively to challenging behaviours. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and make a positive impact in your workplace.

Outcomes

  • Understand behaviour is a form of communication.
  • Identify the specific behaviours of each phase in the escalation cycle.
  • Identify environmental supports that can be provided to intervene early in the escalation cycle.
