De-Escalation Training for Staff and Consumers in
Inpatient and Other Service Delivery Settings

PURPOSES:

goal of this project is to reduce seclusion and
restraint among men and women inpatients with
psychiatric disabilities, and to empower people in a
variety of mental health settings to determine their
own course of treatment during times of crisis.
WHAT’S
NEW, WHAT’S USEFUL
 Toolkit
for Increasing Self-Determination through Advance
Crisis Management in Inpatient and Community
Settings [visit
our Publications page for ordering information].
This toolkit package is
designed for administrators, supervisors, managers,
service providers, and clients interested in
developing procedures for advance crisis planning in
psychiatric treatment settings. While it is intended
for use in inpatient programs, partial
hospitalization programs, and residential
facilities, it can be adapted for psychosocial
rehabilitation programs, community mental health
centers, clubhouses, and any other acute or
long-term mental health treatment settings in which
people with psychiatric disabilities are served.
The
toolkit contains three major training resources:
- Instruction
Manual -- Increasing Self-Determination through
Advance Crisis Management: How to Design,
Implement, and Evaluate Your Own Program This
manual addresses four major topics: designing
and implementing an advance crisis management
program; creating and using advance crisis
management plans each day; common concerns
regarding advance crisis management programs;
and evaluating advance crisis management plans
and procedures.
- Videotaped
Training Demonstration - Increasing
Self-Determination: Advance Crisis Planning with
Mental Health Consumers in Inpatient and Other
Settings This videotape demonstrates how to
conduct training on advance crisis management
plans and procedures. Common concerns of
inpatient staff and vignettes are
included.
- Handouts
for use with Videotaped Training Demonstration
These handouts accompany the videotaped training
demonstration for designing an advance crisis
management program.
