The goal is to assist others in managing themselves and the safety of all involved through skilful non-physical means. Physical strategies are also taught to provide additional ‘least restrictive’ options in the event the person poses a clear threat of substantial harm to self or others if physically unassisted.
Participants will be given information on how to provide positive behaviour support effectively, with the process of threat & risk management in their workplace. This involves the assessment and ethical response to behaviours of concern, identifying and planning our therapeutic response strategies.
Participants will be trained in a range of strategies to ensure the above objectives are met, including break & escape techniques, and dealing with clients with challenging behaviours.
