Turning Down the Heat: Effective De-Escalation Strategies for School Staff (July 20, 2026)

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Join us for a FREE Virtual PD/EILA Event...

Student behaviors can sometimes escalate quickly, leaving school counselors, teachers and administrators feeling powerless in a room full of students.

Turning Down the Heat explores responses to escalated student behavior, including common mistakes adults make and more effective approaches to de-escalation through a trauma informed lens.

Participants will leave with practical, ready-to-use strategies and will engage in real-life role-play scenarios from the presenter's true experiences to explore and practice effective de-escalation techniques in a supportive setting.

Monday July, 20th at 10:00 AM. ZOOM link sent after registration.

Presented by Amy Riley, ASCA U Trauma & Crisis Specialist and KY School Counselor in Anderson County.

The cost of this one hour PD/EILA training is FREE for members and $35 for non-members.

A one year membership to KSCA only costs $40 and you can enjoy free PD all year!
