Workshop Schedule definitions
Below are some
basic definitions to various workshop elements/sessions.
HELP Principles
The HELP Principles provide the overall foundation for the most effective and least restrictive use of the program. HELP Principles provide fundamental and universal laws for human empowerment and leadership to prevail.
<RETURN>
Communication
HELP Communication
is developed in a three step process. The skills presented in
this three step approach reduce the need for physical intervention and
consequently secure a safer environment for everyone.
<RETURN>
Weapons Safety
The Weapons Safety component presents specific concepts and procedures for dealing with blunt, sharp, and piercing objects for the person attempting to cause harm to themselves and/or others.
<RETURN>
Post-Crisis Communication
The class is concluded with Post-Crisis
Communication. The Helper will learn how to re-establish rapport with the Learner after physical intervention has been applied and uses skills learned from the communication component to explore options for future problem solving. The process is concise and non-blaming while allowing the Learner to own responsibility for problem solving choices.
<RETURN>
Learner Initiated Contacts
Learner Initiated Contacts provides a series of techniques designed to protect the Helper from grasps, strikes, kicks and pushes, without causing harm to anyone. The use of brute strength, pressure points, joint locks, and pain is avoided. Safety guidelines for hair pulling and biting are also contained in this section.
<RETURN>
Helper Initiated Contacts
Helper Initiated Contacts teaches the Helper how to effectively hold the Learner in order to avoid injury of either party. These techniques include methods for containing movement and provide procedures that are respectful, supportive and non-violent.
<RETURN>
Proximity and Space
Proximity & Space is designed to heighten the Helper’s body awareness for safety. Specific techniques are taught by using respectful, non- threatening body positions and posture. The techniques will promote safety and provide logical, practical opportunities for prevention of physical contact.
