This training helps learners identify the early warning signs of a crisis so that they are better equipped to recognize distress and prevent escalation before it starts. We will strategize ways we can regain cognitive control in a crisis and understand how to better manage ourselves in a conflict. We will begin to build our toolbox of techniques for interaction at each stage of escalation and discuss strategies for how to build rapport with individuals in crisis. Participants will practice empathic listening and non-verbal communication, a critical skill that can be used in any aspect of our lives.

Most of us can easily recall a time when we have witnessed or experienced discrimination in our workplace, school or community. We know that interrupting these incidents is essential for creating work and community spaces that feel safe and welcoming for all. Rising Collective's Upstander Training will give you and your teammates the tools to speak up and take action when you witness mistreatment, discrimination or micro-aggressions in your workplace or community. This interactive workshop will give participants the opportunity to explore the impacts of discrimination in the workplace, provide actionable strategies for addressing mistreatment when it happens, and discuss tools for debriefing and repairing following an incident. As with all Rising Collective workshops, the whole group will have the opportunity to practice and debrief in a supportive environment as we move towards becoming Upstanders and creating safety through solidarity with our friends, colleagues and clients. The Rising Collective team will work directly with you to develop realistic scenarios that are tailored to your workplace.
