Clinical De-escalation

Topics included in this session:

• How to recognise and de-escalate heightened behaviours, from agitation ramping up to aggression
• What responses are needed to de-escalate individuals at different points of the escalation cycle, including how to prevent people escalating to aggression and loss of control where possible
• About the stress response system and what this means both for the escalated person and ourselves
