Verbal Prevention & Management of Aggressive Behavior

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.
