RANU Task Force on Homelessness

Description

November Meeting Date Change!
Please remember our next Task Force on Homelessness meeting is next Tuesday, November 4th, as we will be in observance of Veterans Day during our typical second Tuesday of the month date.

RANU (Renton Area Nonproft Unite) has a Homeless Task Force that is working to collaborate nonprofits, resources, businesses, residents and community to provide a community-driven solution-based approach to the many challenges impacting homelessness in our community. If you would like to sit in on discussions to learn more, to collaborate or to contribute, you are welcome.

 
Here is a brief summary of the presentation: 
 
“The presentation on the 4th will be a tasting plate of Talk Steady's four most popular modules, including brief sections from "De-Escalation Basics", "Self-Regulation", "Intent vs Impact", and "Manipulation."

We will briefly touch upon:
    Identifying violence and deciding when to engage
    Practicing remaining calm and productive during an escalated event
    Acknowledging and working around defensiveness when faced with criticism
    How to proceed when we suspect someone is negatively manipulative

All of these subjects have a complete training module that is between one and two hours in length, but I will be leaving the audience with applicable techniques from each one. The training is interactive, with the goal of providing a small amount of guided practice on each subject, as time permits.”  Sharon Bebop
