Lunch & Learn: Responding to Concerning Behavior and/or People in Distress & Navigating Difficult Personalities

Please join us as we discuss "Responding to Concerning Behavior and/or Navigating Difficult Personalities" with Rosanne McSweeney.  

Navigating Difficult Personalities:  Have you ever interacted with someone and consistently felt confused, frustrated,upset, and/or hurt?  Your interactions could be with a colleague, friend, significant other, student, or a family member.  There are people whose internal experience results in consistent impairments in functioning (distorted thinking patterns, problematic emotional responses, irregulated impulse control, interpersonal difficulties).  This presentation provides practical tips and strategies for interacting with someone whose personality consistently presents challenges or difficulties.  

Responding to Concerning Behavior and People in Distress:  The tragedy that occurred on the Virginia Tech campus in 2007 prompted a significant focus on identifying and responding to concerning behavior and people in distress.  Hindsight provided a clear picture of "warning signs" and "behavioral red flags."  What caused a lack of earlier intervention?  The challenges from years ago still exist today.  What is concerning behavior?  How do we know when someone is in distress?  How should we best respond to these sometimes murky situations?  This presentation will provide specific tools for identifying concerning behavior and ways to successfully interact with someone who is in distress.
