Big feelings, heart poungding, mind racing...WHAT DO I DO? Our members exist in a system much bigger than us and are still learning how to name and navigate their feelings. Sometimes those BIG feelings show up in BIG ways. All aboard the De-escalation Station - this is your conductor speaker! As we go on this ride, we'll reflect on the systems shaping our youth, navigate the "Tunnel of No Control," and learn how to stay grounded when emotions run high. Together, we'll build the skills needed to interrupt the crisis cycle and support young people with intention and care. Along the way, we'll deepen our understanding of child development, environment, and behavior. By the end of the journey, you'll step off equipped to respond - not react - to life's BIG feelings. Finger candy included with price of admission!
