These sessions are identical so select the one that best fits your schedule.
Office staff is often the first contact that individuals have with a department. There are times when individuals who come to the office are frustrated and/or angry and lash out. This session will provide de-escalating communication strategies, methods of dealing with a difficult or threatening person, as well as information on dealing with suspicious persons.
This session is intended for front-line office staff. If you have a large staff and would like this presentation for your particular area, please contact Reed or Koch at 785-532-6432.
