Distress and Conflict with Care*

VINES Den 825 E Hastings, Vancouver BC


*$25 for BCMA Members, $75 for non-members*

How do we navigate moments of distress and conflict with care, confidence,
and clarity? This one-day workshop explores practical approaches to
de-escalation in community-facing spaces, where high-intensity interactions
are often shaped by trauma, systemic inequities, and unmet needs.

Join the BCMA and VINES for this Crisis Navigation Workshop. Participants
will be introduced to trauma-informed strategies for responding to people
in heightened or altered emotional states, while strengthening their own
capacity for grounding, presence, and self-regulation. Through guided
exercises and real-world scenarios, the workshop will explore tools such as
active listening, mirroring, and boundary-setting.

Building on these approaches, participants will engage in group discussions
to reflect on their own experiences, comfort levels, and support needs -
leaving with practical strategies to foster safer, more compassionate
environments.

This workshop includes a catered lunch.

Workshop fee: **$25** for BCMA Members, *$75* for non-members.
