KiDS NEED MoRE Community

When emotions run high, how we respond matters.

Join Jillian Yuni as we explore practical de-escalation strategies for working with children and teens in a camp setting. We’ll discuss how to recognize escalating behaviors, respond in a calm and supportive manner, and help campers regain a sense of safety and control.

This training will provide real-world tools and best practices to help staff and volunteers navigate challenging moments while maintaining positive relationships with campers.

Saturday, August 1 • 10:00–11:00 AM ET
