Avoiding Power Struggles: Practical Strategies for Safer, More Effective Interactions

Power struggles can quickly escalate situations, strain relationships, and derail positive outcomes. In this Safety-Care Live session, we will explore how and why power struggles occur across a variety of settings and, more importantly, how to prevent them.

Join us to learn how to recognize early warning signs, shift your approach in the moment, and respond in ways that promote cooperation rather than conflict. Through real-world examples and practical tools, we will focus on maintaining professionalism, reducing escalation, and supporting individuals more effectively.

Whether you work in schools, clinics, residential settings, or the community, this session will provide actionable strategies to help you stay calm, avoid unnecessary conflict, and prioritize safety and positive outcomes.
