Crisis Prevention Intervention Top Ten Tips For De-escalation:
1. Be empathetic - What someone is going through might be the most important thing in their life.
2. Respect personal space - There's scientific evidence that demonstrates that allowing for personal space can often decrease someone's anxiety!
3. Use non threatning non-verbals-Be cognizant of your facial expressions, tone of voice and movements.
4. Remmain calm-Your response directly effects whether the behaviour escalates or not.
5. Focus on feelings-How a person feels is often the heart of the matter.
6. Ignore challenging questions-Try to bring their focus back to how you can work together to problem solve.
7. Set Limits-Keep it very simple and clear.
8. Choose wisely on what you insist upon-Be accommodating.
9. Allow for awkward silence-Talking to fill the space can sometimes be unhelpful. Silence is a teaching strategy that can be used as a way to allow the child time to process what is happening in the moment.
10. No rush-Even if there is a time limit give students your attention.

Thank you!
