Do you work with young people? Have you struggled with kids acting out in aggressive or explosive ways? Do you want to know how to turn crisis situations into learning opportunities?

Get LSCI certified! Learn from Sheppard Pratt’s master LSCI trainer, Abby Potter, in this 4-part workshop open to teachers, school personnel, social workers, counselors, youth care workers, administrators, psychologists, and any professionals in direct contact with youth. 

What is LSCI? LSCI is a brain-based trauma-informed interactive and therapeutic strategy for turning crisis situations into learning opportunities for young people who exhibit challenging behaviors.

Participants who complete the course will receive a Certificate of Competency in Life Space Crisis Intervention from the LSCI Institute.

This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals.

6. Utilize a six-step sequence and specific communication skills for each reclaiming intervention.
