Registration 8:30 a.m.
September 29, 2023 | 9:00AM - 5:00PM PST

Registration and location information for this course will be forthcoming.

This course teaches health care professionals strategies to use when dealing with potentially abusive clients. Techniques will include verbal de-escalation skills and humane, non-injurious personal safety and patient restraint methods that meet the requirements for AB508 violence prevention training. This course also meets the educational component for SB1299 training and includes Active Shooter content.

Attendees will practice de-escalation techniques through role-play exercises. Participants should wear comfortable clothing and be able to perform various physical movements.

This course is presented by Flex Ed and could be offered by your hospital in the future. If your hospital is a Flex Ed client, check with your organization to learn about future offerings that may be at no charge to you. If you wish to continue registration at this point, HASC will offer a discount. If you’re unsure whether your hospital is a Flex Ed client, click here.

Following this course, participants will be able to:

  • Provide a safe, secure and caring environment for staff and patients
  • Identify de-escalation techniques used when responding to escalating behaviors
  • Decrease use of hands-on management of aggressive behavior, with the ultimate goal of eliminating use of restraints and seclusion
  • Demonstrate humane, non-injurious personal safety and patient restraint techniques
