This Safety & Connection through Effective Communication training is available to KVC foster parents and worth 2.5 CEUs. This training will be held virtually, for information on how to participate, please email Morgan Emmert at memmert@kvc.org.

Training Description: 

At KVC Nebraska, we believe children and families can grow by experiencing healthy relationships. In the Mandt System Training, there are several helpful verbal de-escalation tools taught that employees, foster families, and Shared Living Providers can utilize to encourage safety and connection through effective communication with individuals served, family members, co-workers, friendships, professionals, etc.

The Mandt System trains R.A.D.A.R. as a way to help individuals effectively assess what is going on inside of them, with the people around them, and their environment to impact their decision-making skills and decide to act in a helpful way, instead of depending only on their reactions to the situation. The Mandt System also shows how Maslow’s Hierarchy, a history of Trauma, the Crisis Cycle, and what a person believes can help participants gain even more insight into a person’s behavior, family, their sense of hope, physical and psychological health so they can help resolve conflicts and understand a person’s story.

To sign up for this training or if you have any additional questions, please contact Morgan Emmert, Training Coordinator, at memmert@kvc.org.
