It is not the only thing training is about d8.is/b4 twitter.com/desc/status/66…

Staff leave after a few months, new staff are hired to replace them, you pay for another round of physical intervention, and the cycle repeats. Want different outcomes, a different approach create lasting emotional change in staff. Training shouldn’t be about ticking a box.

Don’t expect meetings or a change in care plan to solve your staff’s problems Stress, burnout and poor relationships with supported individuals aren’t patched over by new policies. Are you trying to survive another crisis? Or trying to build a team that thrives long-term?

Currently working on a new project to get the core D8 experience to more care teams. In the past, physical intervention training has been the only way I’ve been able to deliver what makes D.ESCAL8™ special to people. Now that limitation no longer applies.

The foundation of care is the presence of an emotionally available, stable adult. These people help those they support feel heard. 𝗗𝗲-𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭𝟬𝟭 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱. How many of your colleagues embody that?

I am so excited to be working on this new project I almost woke the neighbours I was up so early 😁

We are not great at open socials + miss you - now we have a private chat group for anyone who has done the 3-day course. We can only accept you if you know the email you left in our system when you took the course. Join with a personal email though! go.de-escalate.com/UpEcYKt

We have been away for a while, getting back online over the next few weeks as something is changing; it feels good to work on something new. How is everyone❓ What did I miss? 🤣🙏🤔

3/3 Registration will trigger us to send joining instructions, the link will not ask for payment. form.typeform.com/to/ZRzRmRkP Usual info page de-escalate.com/open-workshop

2/3 - make sure you put Twitter in the "any other questions" box at the end of the registration, and the reason you want to take part - first come first served basis. Customers get separate deals so this is really for individuals or family or non-customers. A way to give back.

1/2 - Well, it has been an interesting and busy few years. We used to give away a certain number of FREE places each year pre covid and I thought I would see if anyone is interested as we have some places for next week (West Wales). A couple of FREE places...

Bristol Open Workshop up and running for March, 50% places booked - 7 days left to book at the early bird rate! de-escalate.com/open-workshop

@EmmEDavies @BB_Send_Stories @descooke Thank you Emma - I hope all is well, I am afraid I do not use Twitter much - have a great holiday season

@BB_Send_Stories Omg that’s awful. I work with children who have autism and we would never restrain a child. Get @DeESCAL8 @descooke to help train the staff. Hope your son is feeling safe with you at home now.

My son was restrained today. I was told by his SEMH school "he's had a bad day". A young child, already traumatised by several inappropriate provisions, panicked that he couldn't breathe properly or stop crying while his arms and legs were held. I wasn't called for hours...

We can all be a listening adult for those children facing challenges...

Hopefully, things are moving in the right direction. We have been running open courses in West Wales throughout and have started back with Bristol. Plymouth back online later this year. See all our Open workshops as they come online here. Open Workshops d8l.uk/3A7q4ib
