Safety with De-escalation

Observe your surroundings and other individuals in the area. Be aware of people’s location if inside a home/apartment/business, etc.  Do not allow your access to an exit to be blocked (i.e., always have an exit).  Keep your hands in front of your body, below your chest, palms out and slightly to the sides so as to display a non-threatening posture.
