QLIP is partnering with Leap Confronting Conflict to offer training for Islington youth practitioners, to help strengthen your practice. These training sessions will cover awareness of self in conflict, triggers and de-escalation, and well-being and support for yourself and others. There are 16 spaces on each course, so we ask that no more than two people per organisation register. All courses will take place online.
Awareness of Self in Conflict
https://londonyouth.org/event/awareness-of-self-in-conflict/
4 May, 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Conflict is neither negative nor positive, it just is. Whether challenging behaviour with young people, disagreements with colleagues or in other areas of life, having greater self-awareness in moments of conflict is fundamental. This session, delivered by Leap Confronting Conflict, will enable participants to:
- Develop their understanding of conflict
- Have a greater awareness of their relationship with conflict
- Identify tools and approaches that can be applied to conflict and to their work with young people
Triggers and De-escalation
https://londonyouth.org/event/triggers-and-de-escalation-2/
16 May, 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm
Participants will deepen their understanding of individual and interpersonal conflict, and what may underlie expressions of challenging behaviour. This session, delivered by Leap Confronting Conflict, will enable participants to:
- Learn and practice frameworks and tools for understanding and de-escalating conflict experienced by the young people they support. To understand the role that thoughts play in a triggering situation.
- To deepen understanding and find wiggle room for a wider range of strategies in working with a young person in the moment
Wellbeing and support
https://londonyouth.org/event/wellbeing-and-support/
1 June, 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm
We acknowledge that our work requires a great deal of self-reflection, which can at times be both difficult and demanding. Therefore, it is vital that we support participants to practice “self-care” and build resilience. This module supports participants in listening to their bodies, hearts, and minds, identifying visceral responses, and using this to recognise what they need in place to support themselves best and to develop their own resilience and ability to engage in this training. This session, delivered by Leap Confronting Conflict, will enable participants to:
- Generate self-compassion and compassion for others
- Explore what trauma is and increase their understanding of trauma
- Contextualise their experiences using frameworks like fight, flight, freeze and the window of tolerance
- Identify strategies for self-care and support
