The Homeless Training Institute is offering a free webinar and I wanted to pass along the information.  The Homeless Training Institute is a pre-approved provider so the training will count as 1 LEU.

The training is Managing Your Own Emotions During Conflict. Below are the details:

• WHEN: December 2-6
• TIMES: 8 AM, 10 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM, and 4 PM (all on YOUR time zone)
• REGISTRATION LINK: https://www.homelesstraining.com/free-training/ (If clicking the link doesn’t work, copy and paste it into your browser)

In the training we cover:

• Two strategies for staying calm when conflict starts
• Two strategies to use after you have passed the “thinking threshold” (and YOU are in fight/flight/freeze mode)
• How to know you’ve passed the “effectiveness threshold” and how to exit the situation
• Additional strategies you can use before conflict (to prepare) and after conflict (to calm down)

Plus there’s an interactive workbook and certificate of attendance. To see a clip from the training, use this link: https://www.homelesstraining.com/free-training/
