EDUT 5132 Support Students-Behavioral Crises

Support for Students in Behavioral Crises

Explosive, aggressive, and even violent behavior can be the result of the crises in students’ mental health. Those who are not trained in special behavior supports need tools to help students and themselves in crisis situations. This course provides information about why behaviors might occur, the stages within the crisis cycle, and proactive strategies for reducing crisis behavior before it starts. Learn about current crisis protocol in some schools, and de-escalation techniques for “in the moment” reactions. You’ll leave this course with a plan and a toolkit of information to support you, those in crisis, and all students in your classroom, to ensure safety and wellbeing for all.
