in schools and the workplace, have resulted in feelings of emotional distress, personal problems and anger. Sometimes these feelings of uncertainty are displaced and directed in the form of anger, to employees in various workplace settings. This program will
help employees identify potentially distressed individuals and learn verbal diffusion and conflict resolution techniques to de-escalate these encounters.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
