Title:
Understanding How Energy Medicine and Verbal First Aid can
De-Escalate Crisis Situations for System-Involved Youth and Families - 4 CAMFT
& RN CEUs
Description:
During and after stressful and/or traumatic crisis situations, our nervous
system goes into a fight or flight/sympathetic dominant state. Both Energy
Medicine (EM) and Verbal First Aid (VFA) techniques can quickly create
regulation in response to stress situations. This training will help participants
understand how the body reacts during stress/crisis and in particular, the
nervous system. Participants will learn EM VFA techniques and how they influence
the nervous system and can deescalate crisis situations. There will be
instruction on how to use them with clients and teach them to caretakers/families.
Material will be taught through lecture, demonstrations, and practice.
Objectives:
1. Articulate how the nervous system
responds to stress.
2. Identify 3 situations where energy
medicine and/or verbal first aid techniques would be a helpful intervention
3. Implement three or more energy
medicine and/or verbal first aid techniques in work with clients
4. Teach caregivers to use energy
medicine and/or verbal first aid techniques in at least 2 situations with
system involved youth.
