The City of Fairbanks and the Downtown Association invite you to a Deescalation Workshop on Wednesday, May 20, from 8:30–10:00 AM at the Fairbanks Community & Dog Mushing Museum (top floor of the Co‑Op Plaza, 535 2nd Avenue). You’ll learn about community response teams and principles of de-escalation you can use right away, and you’ll have a chance to connect with other businesses in the downtown core. The City of Fairbanks will lead the training. Learn how to:
- Bring a calm presence to a tense situation
