Safeclinch Training System Summary

487 Words2 Pages

The SafeClinch Training System is designed for caregivers dealing with uncooperative behaviors. It is a complete verbal de-escalation and physical intervention program. I receive request often asking for a demonstration of the techniques in the SafeClinch Program. This book showcases a very small percent of the overall SafeClinch Training System for demonstration purposes only. There is some debate on whether we should physically restrain a person as a caregiver. This book does not tackle that debate. This is not another self-defense book. There are plenty of those out there already. I purposely did not spend a great deal of time showing this facet of the training. Although, I do cover self-defense situations thoroughly in the SafeClinch …show more content…

The physical intervention techniques in this book are meant to appear as if I was hugging the combative person until they could regain self-control and no longer combative. I cannot just throw a bunch of techniques together and call it an intervention program. All the techniques have to work together and I should be able to flow from one technique to the next with some flexibility. The techniques in this book rely on gross motor movements. These movements are easy to learn and retain over long periods of time. If a particular technique is not working I transition to another position. No one technique is 100% effective. I have to be flexible and I continue to move until I get the person immobilized. Even during a physical intervention I make sure to use verbal commands and continue my verbal de-escalation efforts. I give myself the option to disengage or escape if safety is a concern and wait for others to assist if available. I never want to be surprised by a person’s behavior. So, I stay mentally sharp about my environment. If a person is surprised by an “outburst” they might overreact to the situation. In any physical intervention I make sure I use verbal de-escalation techniques first. I use only the minimum amount of force necessary, and I discontinue any physical techniques when no longer

abuse: When the service user lives with the carer, it may increase the chances for abuse to occur as this situation may cause stress and resentment if the carer feels he/she cannot cope. Not properly trained staff who do not receive any supervision or support at work, as well as stressed staff who are going through personal problems, or who do not like working in the care sector, may increase the risk of an individual being abused. In addition, patients who are not mobile, are confused, suffer from dementia or are aggressive or challenging, may also present an increase for the risk of an individual being abused, since the carer

Many parents use intimidating methods such as corporal punishment in order to attempt to prevent certain behaviors from their children. Dr. Kazdin goes into detail about all of the negative affects this common technique can create and how parents can find more productive ways to discipline their children without the possibility of establishing a harmful relationship.

The subcategories in her journal article consist of: decent housing, what you pay for, shut-in, restraining chairs, community care, few nurses, friends & relatives, and changes. I love the subcategories she put in this article. Although this article is more than thirty years old, I still believe I could implicate it into my Researched Position Paper very easily with the then and know technique. With the subcategory “restraining chairs” you can probably assume that in todays era of nursing homes it would not be realistic to use restraining chairs for resident that are acting out. There have been laws put in place to help the resident in nursing homes like no restraints.

I work with eight children between the ages of three and five that have PTSD due to early trauma. This means that the children have a hard time with regulating themselves and expressing verbally what their emotions are. This struggle can lead to aggressive behaviors such as kicking, biting, scratching, smacking, and punching. Last week I was working with a child that is known to show aggressive behavior and his arousal escalated into him smacking my face really hard. I was pretty shocked by this and it set me into tears.

"Child Abuse and Neglect" says that Physical abuse can include "striking a child with the hand, fist, or foot or with an object, burning, shaking, pushing, or throwing a child; pinching or biting the child, pulling a child by the hair or cutting off a child’s air." However, physical abuse is considered to be a use of punishment in wrecked as well as normal families such as the use of physical force with the intent of inflicting bodily pain, but not injury, for the purpose of correction or control or discipline. Yet, there is a thin line between physical punishment and abuse which many parents seem to lack notice of. "Child Abuse and Neglect" explains that the level of force used by an angry or frustrated parent can easily get out of hand and lead to injury. Emotional or verbal abuse is one of the worst forms of mistreatment due to its invisibility.

Having a mindset that it is temporary, harmless, and will only last a short period, can allow one to feel relief and often causes an episode to end (Breus). Another means to end this is focusing on moving a smaller, less important part of the body. The ability to move a smaller part, can awaken the brain and stop the occurrence. When getting into the mindset that this can be controlled, one can usually get out of it (Hurd et al.). Along with trying to move a smaller part of the body, people have found that making an intense movement could also end an episode.
