LSCI certification training is provided only by Master or Senior LSCI Trainers acknowledged by the LSCI Institute. This training should be attended by those who will maintain fidelity to the intervention modality systemically or individually with students.
Attendance at this training certifies an individual to use the strategies. It does not allow a participant to train others in the strategies, tools and concepts presented in the training.
Brief Overview: This certification training provides carefully structured theoretical and applied instruction in crisis intervention skills for use in reclaiming children and youth involved in patterns of self-defeating behavior. Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI) applies to troubled and at-risk students in various education settings. The training provides 27 specific competencies for using the crisis as a teaching and therapeutic opportunity with students showing six different patterns of self-defeating behavior.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Articulate the dynamics of conflict cycles, which lead to self-defeating behavior.
2. Recognize student-thinking errors that interfere with communication and problem- solving.
3. Recognize the process and outcomes of staff counter-aggression, which precludes effective intervention.
4. Assess the circumstances under which LSCI is or is not an appropriate intervention.
5. Demonstrate effective de-escalation, decoding, and counseling strategies for youth in crisis.
6. Differentially diagnose these six common patterns of self-defeating behavior:
a. Problems originating elsewhere in a child's ecology.
b. Problems rooted in a child's reality distortions.
c. Problems resulting from social skill deficits.
d. Problems related to negative peer influence.
e. Problems caused by lack of prosocial values.
f. Problems of guilt and self-abusive behavior.
7. Match specific reclaiming interventions with each of the six patterns of self-defeating behavior.
8. Utilize a six-step sequence and specific communication skills for each reclaiming intervention.
9. Reflect on how certain youth problems relate to the helper's personality and values.
