By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the risks associated with the use of restrictive holds or physical restraints.
  • Demonstrate verbal and non-verbal de-escalation strategies.
  • Demonstrate the use of holding skills consistent with a set of physiological principles that may be used in varying clinical environments to restrict movement and minimise risk.
  • Demonstrate how to disengage from various holds using a consistent set of physiological principles.
