The State of the Art in Behavioral Safety

Prevent behavioral crises

Far more than a "restraint training" or "crisis management" course, Safety-Care provides staff with the skills they need to confidently, safely, humanely, and respectfully enhance the lives of children, adolescents, or adults who sometimes exhibit violent or otherwise challenging behaviors. The result can be a dramatic improvement in safety, fewer injuries, fewer worker's compensation claims, and decreased liability.

Intervene without restraint

Staff learn to intervene professionally and therapeutically, using a safe, straightforward, effective approach designed to prevent or reverse escalation and avoid restraint. Safety-Care de-escalation skills work with those who can communicate verbally—and those who can't. Because it is based on an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) model, Safety-Care avoids reinforcement of crisis behaviors—because it isn't helpful to get through a crisis today in a way that makes another crisis more likely tomorrow. Safety-Care is the right choice for restraint prevention and elimination.

Effective procedures that are safe for everyone

In many organizations, staff must be prepared—as a last resort—to initiate emergency physical interventions. Staff learn to manage aggression and other dangerous behaviors using a comprehensive set of physical procedures that are safe, effective, and brief. None of the procedures cause pain, apply pressure to torso or joints, or put the person into an uncomfortable or awkward position.
