About the Presenter: Gil Morales has worked in a number of capacities involving the necessary skill of de-escalation strategies used to employ verbally, and physically aggressive individuals.
As a Federal Officer, he engaged with people who were in very difficult circumstances of their lives, and in many instances very desperate. The behaviors would manifest itself in extreme illustrations of emotional outbursts which entailed, severe language, loud and boisterous physical and verbal language, and sometimes physical aggression.
He also worked for the Contra County Health Center in various capacities for the county. He worked in some of the most challenging cities in the bay area, Richmond, Pittsburg, Emeryville, San Pablo, Martinez, to name a few. The clientele would range from individuals whose only interest was receiving health care service, however; there were numerous times where a client did not get what they expected, wanted or felt they deserved, and they would become extremely agitated. They expressed themselves in the same manner as those he served when working as a Federal Officer, their voices became elevated, their body language became increasingly aggressive, and there were many times when they would become physical.
