  2. Identify key strategies for maintaining a more therapeutic environment for preventing behavioral and aggressive events
  3. Summarize the how and when to use effective verbal de-escalation techniques
  4. Determine the steps one can take proactively to further enhance own safety and security
  5. Differentiate the legal and regulatory issues associated with the use of safe physical crisis intervention and the implication of restraints
  6. Outline the proper documentation of a workplace violence situation to provide an accurate account of the event while providing a legal document that protects the staff member and the MedStar Health entity.
  7. Apply effective techniques for safe physical crisis intervention, allowing participants to make the best decision and use the most applicable skills based on the specific circumstances.
