SECURE Primer
The SECURE Primer provides exposure to the SECURE curriculum without the full training. This is ideal for individuals who work in roles which typically have cursory or incidental interaction with individuals with potentially uncertain behavior. This includes roles such as administrative staff, hospitality staff, and regular visitors or volunteers among others.
Attendees receive an introduction to the SECURE Cycle of Crisis Understanding and Response as well as the 3 Guiding Philosophies. There is a review of the Self-Awareness section with particular focus on the requirement to manage one’s own stress. The bulk of the session is spent on De-escalation with a presentation of the entire De-escalation component The session is concluded by explaining the need for Post-Crisis Teaching and Critical Debriefing.
The SECURE Primer is scheduled for about 4 hours and is geared to just provide essential de-escalation skills to those who are in an unlikely position to need to use them. Individuals who are more likely to deal with crisis need to attend the Standard or Elements version.
