Level 2: LSCI Refresher Training

Welcome back to LSCI training!

Thanks for your ongoing interest in the advanced skills of LSCI and for taking advantage of this opportunity to refresh your knowledge of our brain-based, trauma-informed, relationship-building interventions for turning problem situations into learning opportunities for children and youth with chronic patterns of self-defeating behaviors.

LSCI views stressful incidents as opportunities for learning, growth, insight, and change. Our non-physical intervention program combines evidence-based practice with the most up-to-date brain research and principles of trauma-informed care, offering a multi-theoretical approach to behavior management and problem solving. LSCI training provides professionals with a roadmap through conflict to desired outcomes using crisis as an opportunity to teach and create positive relationships with youth.

The LSCI Refresher Training provides in-depth instruction in the fundamental skills of LSCI, including:

• The differences in psychological worlds between helping adults and kids under stress
• The impact of chronic stress and traumatic events in the lives of young people
• The brain’s role in driving repetitive and predictable patterns of self-defeating behavior
• Helping kids bring language to emotion
• The LSCI Conflict Cycle
• Effective interviewing skills
• The skills of Drain Off
• How to Conduct a Timeline
• Correcting Common Pitfalls of Stages 1 & 2
• The Diagnostic Cues of the Six Reclaiming Interventions
• Identifying the Central Issue
• How to Effectively Carry out the Insight Stage of LSCI
• Teaching New Skills
• What Kids Need during the Transfer of Training Stage
• The Double Struggle

Online Course Format

1. The Level 2: LSCI Refresher Training is a video-based course. Following the simple registration process (see link below), you will gain access to 19 training modules, each presented via video by an LSCI Master Trainer.
2. The course is not timed; participants are free to watch the modules on their own schedule, and may re-watch each module as often as desired. It is highly recommended that the modules are viewed sequentially, however, as the course information builds on itself from one module to the next.
3. Upon registration, you will be able to download the Participant’s Manual and Study Guide for the LSCI Refresher: Level 2 course.
4. After viewing all of the video modules in their entirety, you will gain access to a multiple choice exam. Participants must score a 90% or higher in order to pass the exam and complete their Level 2 certification. The Study Guide will prepare participants to successfully pass the Level 2 exam.
5. After completing the LSCI Refresher course, you will earn your Level 2 certification in LSCI. You may then opt to move on to certification Level 3.
6. Course fee: $99
