LSCI

Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI) is an advanced therapeutic strategy for anyone who works with troubled and troubling children and youth. LSCI has become one of the most critical and successful intervention strategies for working with challenging youth. LSCI is reality-based, clinically powerful and multi-theoretical. It integrates research validated psycho-educational management techniques into the intervention process.

This training opportunity certifies staff in the advanced competencies involved in the LSCI intervention process. This includes:

  • De-escalating skills to “drain-off” intense feelings while controlling one’s own counter aggressive reactions.
  • Relationship skills to obtain and validate the student’s perception of the crisis.
  • Staff diagnostic skills to determine if the crisis represents one of six LSCI patterns of self-defeating behavior.
  • Clinical skills to pursue an individual’s specific pattern of self-defeating behavior for personal insight and accountability.
  • Empowering skills to teach the child new social skills to overcome his pattern of self-defeating behavior.
  • Consultation and contracting skills to help reinforce and generalize new social skills.

Training Design: LSCI is a five-day intensive training experience. Faculty utilize a variety of teaching techniques including role play, video, assigned reading and lecture. Each participant must successfully complete a 50 question true-false test and practical test for successful certification.
