Topics that will be covered include:
- Enforcing the rules with compassion and empathy – This is Ryan’s core training. It focuses on practical tools for deescalating and preventing conflict. It does so, though, within a framework of helping individuals to understand the psychology behind why this approach works best with individuals experiencing homelessness.
- Police – When should you call the police? When should you not? How should you call the police? What do you do when they arrive? What do you do if the officer is a jerk or won’t assist?
- Traumatic Brain Injury – TBI is very common in homeless populations (> 50%). It can have very specific (bad) effects on a person’s behavior. This training explains the neuroscience behind the problematic behavior as well as specific strategies for working with individuals suffering from TBI.
