De-escalation and Care Bear Training with the DMV De-escalation Collective
Care Bears & De-Escalators are crucial roles not only for increasing safety at protests, but for our vision of collective liberation. Care Bears help look out for the safety of the people around them by providing water & food and helping direct people to resources they need, while de-escalators step into tense situations to create moments of calm in which people can make choices to resolve conflicts and increase safety.
This training will provide tools for navigating stressful situations, introduce the skills Care Bears and De-escalators use, and help participants understand their risk tolerance & communicate their boundaries so they can go into protests with confidence in themselves and their community.
