Register NOW: De-escalation Training!
In an increasingly polarized world, how do we respond to anger, threats, disruption, or distress with grace, compassion, and practical skills?
Join us for an afternoon of hands-on learning grounded in our Unitarian Universalist values. We’ll explore how to:
• De-escalate tense or potentially volatile situations
• Respond when worship or community spaces are disrupted
• Stay safer while participating in social justice actions
• Better understand our own bodies and nervous systems during tense encounters
• Support people experiencing agitation or distress
Our goal is to build communities where safety and compassion go hand in hand, while reducing the likelihood of violence and decentering police intervention.
📅 Sunday, August 30
🕐 1:30–4:30 PM ET
📍 First Parish Cambridge, 3 Church St
💜 $40/person, sliding scale $0–$100
Come skill up with us and help build a safer, more compassionate world.
