Course description
Trauma-Responsive Conflict/Crisis Management
Trauma-responsive conflict/crisis management (TRCM) is an approach to interacting with others that acknowledges the effects of psychological, emotional and physical trauma on people’s behavior and considers these effects in how interactions are handled. TRCM asks “What happened to you?” rather than “What is wrong with you.”
A history of trauma can lead to a vulnerability for re-traumatization — an action or situation that is a reminder of a traumatic event. Such a reminder can rapidly push a person from his or her baseline behavior state to a stress or even acute state of a crisis.
A “trauma-responsive” approach to interactions acknowledges this reality and emphasizes:
- The use of active intelligence gathering about an individual’s trauma history in order to minimize the possibility of re-traumatization.
- The need to avoid reminding the individual of a traumatic event
Trauma-Responsive Conflict/Crisis Management teaches Vistelar’s non-escalation, de-escalation, and crisis intervention methodologies with an emphasis on how to take a trauma-responsive approach to interacting with others in order to minimize the possibility of re-traumatization.
This course uses Vistelar’s emotionally safe performance-driven instruction that emphasizes scenario-based skills practice and audio-/video-recorded assessments to ensure students can perform learned skills — in a supportive classroom environment.
