RDPSD Division Wide Staff Learning Day 2025
Friday April 4, 2025 8:30am - 9:45am MDT
This is a skills-based workshop which will teach you how to help someone quickly de-escalate an overwhelming emotion to return to a more rational, flexible and receptive state of mind. This workshop is especially useful for teachers, parents, administrators, and front line workers who are confronted with the emotional dysregulation of others and aren't sure what to say or do to help the situation.

This workshop was developed by Dr. Adele Lafrance, who has a PhD in Child and Clinical Psychology and is codirector of Mental Health Foundations. After working for many years with Canadian school boards as a psychologist, Dr. Lafrance developed this quick and effective de-escalation tool for teachers in direct response to their classroom needs as well as their feelings of burnout. Dr. Lafrance, who is originally from Ontario but now resides in the United States, has delivered the workshop countless times to schools, parent groups and police officers. Sue is trained by Dr. Lafrance to deliver this workshop.
