Everyone gets a chance to test the theoretical material presented. Many agencies are now having to provide trainings that address both verbal and physical intervention. Having a Use of Force policy that states when hands-on can or can not be used should be in place before any physical intervention training. Response will provide copies of Use of Force Policies currently being used by facilities. Verbal commands are given to the client throughout any hands-on intervention.
People are less likely to struggle when they are told what is going to happen.
Verbal restraints reminds the team intervenors to check in with each other before proceeding. Most importantly verbal restraints gives control back to the client and insures that they are not being put into a harmful restraint, since dialogue between the two parties-intervenors and clients must be maintained. These basic steps provide practitioners with a strong body sense during both their verbal and physical interventions. The use of Body Mechanics during our verbal restraint training, teaches practitioners how to move someone who is larger and perhaps stronger without using brute force.
