Join Michelle Murray and Becky Hiller of Forward Counseling and Consultation as they explore effective strategies for managing challenging conversations and situations using the Polyvagal Theory. This session will focus on applying Polyvagal Theory in crisis prevention, intervention, and de-escalation when working with survivors.
Developed by Stephen Porges, Polyvagal Theory highlights the critical role of the autonomic nervous system in emotional regulation and social connection. By integrating these insights, you’ll gain practical tools to help survivors feel more secure, regulated, and supported during high-stress interactions. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills in creating safer and more empathetic environments for those in crisis.
This is the third in a series of 2024 training sessions focused on the intersections of gender-based violence, substance use and mental health when working with people seeking domestic abuse services.
Join us for any or all sessions in this series. We will meet each month on a Tuesday at 1pm, August-December 2024.
