Healthcare professionals face an increase in crisis situations of various forms, including the most extreme expressions of conflict--verbal and physical violence. We provide action-oriented approaches to managing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral disturbances.

OUR TRAINING COURSES

  • RECOGNIZING PROBLEMATIC BEHAVIORS AND MAINTAINING A PATIENT’S COOPERATION

    Learn how to use the behavioral scale to assess a patient’s level of agitation, detect early stages of challenging behaviors, and maintain a patient’s cooperation. Learn how to mitigate the risk of impulsive, hostile, and uncontrollable behaviors, and avoid coercive interventions that escalate agitation.

  • PREVENTING AGITATED BEHAVIORS FROM ESCALATING

    In the process of establishing desirable patient behavior, it is crucial to give appropriate feedback. Positive reinforcement rewards desired behaviors thereby strengthening the likelihood that the behaviors will recur. Social reinforcements include positive voice modulation, facial expression, verbal praise, and appropriate physical demonstrations of affection by all members of the healthcare team.

  • RESPONDING APPROPRIATELY IF A PATIENT'S BEHAVIOR THREATENS SAFETY

    Our course's main focus revolves around the safety of patients, healthcare professionals, and others. We place strong emphasis on teaching how to gain a patient's attention, improving compliance, and averting negative and avoidance behaviors.

  • WORKING TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF PATIENTS, CARE PROVIDERS, AND OTHERS

    Our courses will teach your healthcare professionals how to enhance their effective communication, establish an appropriate caregiver-patient role, and facilitate informed consent when necessary for treatment purposes.

  • LEARNING HOW TO USE BEHAVIORAL CLUES TO HELP DETECT AND PREVENT POTENTIAL VIOLENT INCIDENTS

DE-ESCALATION

LEARN HOW TO USE BEHAVIORAL CLUES TO HELP DETECT AND PREVENT POTENTIAL VIOLENT INCIDENTS

Our training focuses on providing healthcare professionals with behavioral tools and strategies to manage emotions and regain control over people's behaviors. The course teaches how to establish rapport with agitated or non-cooperative patients, arrive at and maintain a sense of calm, and mitigate the risk of increasing agitation or violence. The patient should be encouraged to communicate openly with staff about their emotions and discuss feelings of anger and frustration.

DE-ESCALATION HAS BECOME A PRIMARY INTERVENTION TECHNIQUE WHEN IT COMES TO HANDLING AGITATED PATIENTS, REDUCING THE LIKELIHOOD OF THEIR AGGRESSION OR VIOLENCE, AND OPTIMIZING HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL'S ABILITY TO PERFORM WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS.
