De-Escalation + Crisis Intervention

Managing defiant, challenging and unsafe behaviors (frequent meltdowns and prolonged tantrums) are a big reason parents initially seek support. As a certified trainer in de-escalation and crisis intervention, Nina brings her skills and experience directly to parents in need. 

Through coaching and workshops, Nina helps parents identify and understand the various phases of challenging behavior, as well as corresponding adult responses. Nina provides practical skills that help parents respond in a way that “turns down the heat” and may even avoid the battles.

One of the keys to de-escalation is prevention. Nina works with families to identify the early warning signs and triggers that allow earlier, more effective interventions, as well as to develop a roadmap for responding to explosive behaviors.
