SUMMARY:Ukeru Principles: Comfort vs Control (Session 1 – repeat) Feb. 13
DESCRIPTION:NEW TIME AND LOCATION!\nUkeru Principles: Comfort vs Control (Session 1 – repeat session)\nUkeru is designed to equip educators, behavioral health professionals, and caregivers with trauma-informed, restraint-free strategies for de-escalation and crisis management. Rooted in compassion, safety, and respect, Ukeru shifts the focus from controlling behavior to understanding it – emphasizing communication, connection, and the creation of supportive environments.\n\nThis training helps participants recognize the impact trauma has on behavior and prioritizes strategies that promote emotional and physical safety for all. The program is committed to eliminating the use of physical restraints and seclusion, replacing them with proactive and respectful interventions. Ukeru teaches staff to prioritize comfort and emotional safety over compliance, cultivating trust and reducing fear-based responses. Ukeru can be used in conjunction with more restrictive techniques (CPI), if necessary.\nPLEASE NOTE: Participants wishing to participate in Session 2 must have completed Session 1.\n\nLearner Outcomes\nEnhanced Relationships: Focusing on empathy and understanding leads to more trusting and respectful relationships.\nIncreased Safety: Tools and techniques help maintain safety without escalation or harm.\nSupportive, Trauma-Informed Culture: Promotes a positive, nurturing environment that benefits individuals and staff alike.\nProactive Intervention: Empowers staff to anticipate and prevent crises by identifying early signs and potential triggers.\nConceptual Foundations: Participants explore the neurological and behavioral impact of trauma, develop effective conflict resolution skills, and learn the importance of relational engagement.\nTrauma-Informed Practices: Staff are trained to recognize trauma’s effects and integrate trauma-sensitive approaches across all interactions.\nCommunication Skills: Emphasis on both verbal and nonverbal techniques to de-escalate conflict and support emotional regulation.\nWhole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) Tenets\nHealthy, Safe, and Supported\n\nDate\nFeb. 13\nTime\n8 a.m.-11:15 a.m.\nLocation\nCastle Farms, Charlevoix\n\nAudience\nTeachers preK-grade 12, administrators, counselors, ISD staff, paraprofessionals, support staff, community partners/agencies\n\n​Presenters\nMary Corder, SLP, Ukeru Certified Trainer, Eric Daniel, Behavioral Consultant, Ukeru Certified Trainer; Jessica Wright, Behavior Specialist (BCBA), Ukeru Certified Trainer\n
