Is there a physical restraint component to MindSet?
Yes, those certified in part two of the curriculum learn physical containment techniques that are reserved for use in instances in which individuals are in imminent danger. The techniques span a full continuum from least restrictive intervention to most restrictive; horizontal containment while adhering to strict guidelines. Horizontal containment is a floor restraint that does not restrict breathing, nor applies direct pressure. Under no circumstances does MindSet authorize prone or supine restraint. Our techniques remain safe for individuals of all ages. We teach this as a last resort intervention to be used in the case of an emergency situation for a minimal amount of time. Restraint is never to be used to gain compliance, a method of punishment, or to modify behavior. It is a safety protocol only.
