By the end of
this course, participants will be able to identify some common causes of
aggression in clients and discuss how VPMAB, as a risk management approach, can
help manage aggressive behavior that could not otherwise have been
anticipated.Participants will also
identify the principles of VPMAB, and implement a communication strategy in
order to manage potentially aggressive behavior. This training has been
modified from the Management of Aggressive Behavior curriculum developed by
Larry Hampton for an MHMR setting. This training focuses on the verbal, rather
than physical, ways to prevent and manage aggressive behavior with clients.
