Working with others, particularly people under stress, can set the stage for conflict. In the helping professions, we often find ourselves struggling with stressful situations, whether that be tension with a consumer, an issue within the consumer’s family dynamic, or a simple miscommunication. With this, it is common to find ourselves frustrated with the people we are trying to work with.

Workshop participants will increase their understanding of the escalation process; identify behaviors that bother us most; understand what is going on within us when we are triggered; learn practical strategies to reduce our reactions and respond professionally to others.

The Ohio Board of Nursing accepts events approved for counselors and social workers for continuing nursing education.
