General Information

This is a one-day training event designed to assist those who work in a variety of settings that may lead them to have to handle or intervene in situations of crisis. The course will look at the cause and nature of crisis and effects this can have on clients and staff. Participants will develop skills to assist them to identify potential crisis situations and how to alleviate these. A range of training methods will be used in delivering the course content. This will assist in ensuring effective input of course material. Participants will be encouraged to take an active part in each session.
