SCHNECKSVILLE, PA (November 19, 2018) – “Keep Calm and Carry On” may seem like just a T-shirt-ready catchphrase – but that sentiment is actually key to successful interventions with young people in crisis.
The Fall/Winter 2018 issue of KidsPeace’s Healing Magazine takes a closer look at de-escalation techniques – with articles examining three comprehensive approaches to de-escalation in the therapeutic setting, along with ideas for adopting de-escalation in everyday life (including coloring books for adults!).
The latest issue also features:
- A discussion of how pop culture references to suicide can affect the work of therapists who are counseling at-risk individuals
- An article on why it’s important that parents work to instill in their kids a resilient attitude toward life – what some people call “True Grit”
- An examination of a new program in New York aimed at closing the gaps in appropriate care and services for kids in need
- And a review of a new book by an Olympic champion, detailing her struggles in coping with a history of horrific abuse.
