[QUOTE="raybaro, post: 403662, member: 11059"] Yes, I try to avoid any form of restrains. I use it as a very last resource. I also always have my other staff member (female) with me at all times when conducting a hold. [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS] [/FONT][/SIZE]They all have goals and have to work their program. I try to talk to them, ask them to take seats, etc. Restrains are only used as a last resource. I only use them when Ct is a danger to him/her self or others. Usually it's called a seat. They sit down when a major re-diagnosis is given. [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS] [/FONT][/SIZE]I believe so but not always the case. Yes, they have group therapy and school. All of our girls are on medications. [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS] [/FONT][/SIZE][/QUOTE][SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Knowing that the young women there have PTSD & Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) you should be aware that any touch, any restraint of this nature can bring on flight or fight responses. Flashbacks of abuse or worse. [/FONT][/SIZE][/QUOTE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS] I agree, I have been trying to avoid any sort of restraint or touch. Restraint should be the very last option ~ period. [/FONT][/SIZE][/QUOTE][SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]What you should do is get the treatment teams together & come up with a better plan. For your safety as well as the safety of your residents.[/FONT][/SIZE][/QUOTE] Sorry for the "dumb" question but is there any advice you can give in regards to this? [/QUOTE] Thank you, R [/QUOTE]
