Life Space Crisis Intervention Certification Training
Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI) is an interactive therapeutic strategy for turning crisis situations into learning opportunities for children and youth with chronic patterns of self-defeating behaviors. This non-physical intervention program uses a multi-theoretical approach to behavior management and problem solving. LSCI provides educators, social workers, psychologists, counselors, and youth care professionals with advanced skills for using crisis as an opportunity to teach and create positive relationships with youth. CEU's and Graduate credits are available for successful completion of the LSCI course. For more information, please visit www.lsci.org
