De-escalation training with Timian Learning & Development
De-escalation training equips you with practical techniques and concepts to prevent escalation. In these moments, it’s crucial to know how to support those in crisis, not just their behaviours.
The importance of de-escalation
Managing challenging behaviour requires effective communication and relationship building, alongside mindful non-verbal communication such as body language and appropriate eye contact. The priority is to de-escalate by remaining calm and actively listening to the person experiencing conflict. Validate their feelings and allow them to express their frustrations – to a healthy extent.
Why it matters
Our core principle is to support people, not just their behaviours.
This empowers you to create a work environment that prioritises the emotional, psychological, and physical well-being of everyone involved. By focusing on prevention, we equip you with the skills to de-escalate situations before they escalate, minimising risk and ensuring safety for all.
