Event Details
Initial Safety Care Training - Core Curriculum
Safety-Care is a two-day training that provides the tools you need for safe crisis prevention and management when working with individuals who might exhibit behavioral changes. Using evidence-based and practical techniques from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS), the Safety-Care program provides your staff with trauma-informed care-compatible strategies for preventing and managing behavioral challenges. These strategies are appropriate for individuals affected by developmental, neurologic, and psychiatric conditions as well as individuals who have experienced psychological or sexual trauma. Safety-Care promotes a reinforcement-based approach while teaching replacement behaviors and new skills, resulting in fewer incidences of dangerous behavior and less need for restrictive interventions such as restraint.
A two-day time commitment is required, and you must be present for the entire training.
