During this comprehensive
behavior management consultation, our experts will assist
you and your staff in designing, documenting and implementing
a behavior management program that works for your facility.
Over the course of 6 on-site sessions,
usually spaced three weeks apart, you and your staff will
complete intensive behavior management training.
In the end, your entire staff will have the background, confidence, training
and a pilot program to successfully implement behavior management in
a gradual process.

|
|
| This is the
right option if: |
 |
You want to implement a behavior management program to
improve quality of care, reduce restraints and improve
staff confidence and competence with behavioral concerns. |
| |
|
|
Your management team is ready, willing and able to commit
to a 6 month implementation schedule, but you don't have
the time to research and design the program. |
| |
|
|
You need training resources that are
appropriate for all levels of staff
from administration to nursing to
support staff. |
| |
|
|
You want on-site consultation for
all phases of the project until your
staff members are ready to carry on
successfully. |

| how does it work? |
Our consultants will assist you
and your staff in developing, planning and implementing a behavior
management program over the course of six on-site sessions.
The sessions are about 3 weeks apart.
In the first twosessions, with the administrator and the leadership
team, we provide an overview of the behavior management process
and assist in the development of a written policy and procedure
for behavior management. We also provide course materials and
a trainer's guide for in-service training of staff members.
The next four sessions, for managers, care planners and hands-on
care givers, are devoted to skill building. Your management
team selects two or three residents for behavior management
case study. We then conduct training in the context of clinical
case conferences with your staff.
Over the course of the four sessions, we take your staff through the steps of assessing
the behavior, designing and implementing a behavioral intervention and, finally, evaluating
and fine-tuning the behavioral care plan.
The skill building sessions are designed to
help your staff apply what they have learned in the course material to the real world of your
facility. They also serve as a pilot program that will enable you to implement behavioral
management in a gradual process.
