Peer Support Specialists may find themselves in a variety of situations. De-escalation strategies are used to defuse a situation by allowing an individual to feel that their concerns are heard. De-escalation strategies help Peer Support Specialists provide safe services and prevent violence.

In this training, Peer Support Specialists will learn de-escalation strategies. The training will emphasize the importance of being intentional with verbal and nonverbal communication, mindful of the purpose of the conversation, calm, and empathetic, as well as the importance of offering options. De-escalation is an effective measure to provide both safety and dignity to us and the people we support!
