Event Description

Course Description

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.

CEU Credit

4 Alcohol & Drug -Specific credits will be provided for participants who complete the entire training. However, no partial credit will be given for incomplete courses. Certificates of Completion will be awarded to participants at the end of the training. Continuing Education Units are provided for Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselors, Licensed Professional Counselors and Social Workers. Sponsors may apply for other types of credits.
