De-escalation for Essential Workers

Have you heard the saying "the best fight is no fight"? Sometimes we may find ourselves in a position where it is our job, or we are the person best equipped to de-escalate or diffuse a situation before it gets worse. But we’re not offered a lot of chances to practice de-escalation.  That's where this IMPACT course can help!

In this 90-minute class, you will learn to use your internal and situational awareness, body language, environment, and verbal strategies to de-escalate potentially volatile situations. Instructors will introduce and model verbal and social techniques, which you then get to practice in realistic role-play scenarios. These opportunities to practice are designed to boost your confidence for real-world situations.

This all-gender class is open to Essential Workers ages 16+.  Plus, you can register at the above link for as little as $5 using one of the below sliding scale discount codes.  To keep our classes sustainable and open to all, we ask that you choose the highest level that is affordable for you:

  • ESSENTIAL5 = $5
  • ESSENTIAL15 = $15
  • ESSENTIAL30 = $30
  • No code (full price) = $45
