Life Space Crisis Intervention Training (REMINDER)
The Office of School and Youth Development is pleased to offer deans, counselors, and/or teachers the opportunity to take the Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI) course, a nationally-recognized professional certification program. Participants in the program will learn effective strategies and skills for their daily work with students, especially those students who engage in persistent negative behaviors. LSCI training provides strategies to turn crisis situations into learning opportunities for students with chronic patterns of self-defeating behaviors. LSCI training will build the capacity of school personnel to teach students better ways to respond to future stressful events, thereby reducing recidivism. The trainings will take place on six Saturdays during the months of January, February, and March at a Manhattan high school. Please see Ms. Cook if you are interested in this training.
