My mother used to tell me "nothing succeeds like success".  She wanted me to try something new and be successful at it so that I would keep learning and growing.  I'll bet that's what you want for your peer support staff.  Learning how to de-escalate a tense situation will definitely give them confidence and make them a better peer supporter.  When they feel confident, they will bring an air of peace to a tense interaction.   Knowledge and confidence are key to de-escalating a potentially upsetting situation. Additionally, confidence can help Peer Supporters avoid burnout and help you avoid expensive turnover.

 

Give them the tools they need right now.  Sharon Holmes will teach them an array of effective non-violent skills that are designed to promote person-centered and recovery-based approaches. Peers will leave the workshop with skills and strategies for supporting someone whose behavior may escalate, while preserving the helping alliance.
