Management of Assaultive Behaviorr® (MAB) ®
Professional Crisis Negotiation and Prevention Training
The Official MAB® Management of Assaultive Behavior® Aggression Prevention Program that has always lead the way helping to protect hundreds of thousands of individuals, both caregivers and their clients over the years since 1976, has undergone a dramatic and effective evolution of improvement recently and is now designed to completely exceed any and all hopes and expectations of what a violence prevention program should contain, as well as what the Nationally recognized regulatory agencies require. We at MABPRO®guarantee that once you or your employees, as well as anyone within any walk of life, have taken the program, that you will not only agree, but you will believe that it is the best assault and violence prevention training program available anywhere even if you have used alternative assault prevention programs such as CPI, P.A.R.T., Pro-ACT, PMAB, MOAB, Secure, Handle With Care, TEAM, as well as other company’s AB-508 and AB-1083 classes, or any other MAB®-like programs.
We at MABPRO® are confident that if you utilize our MAB® Crisis Prevention Training, that you will realize just how much better the MABPRO® program is over anything else.
We also guarantee that following the program, you, your staff, the facility you work with and the clients you serve will experience a marked improvement in thequality of care and customer service you provide and that the individuals you care for will receive! But, MAB® is not just for the healthcare provider any longer, as it now focuses also on the everyday environment of aggressive and difficult situations and people we all encounter in our lives these days and how to better handle them. The climate within today’s business world and health field is becoming increasingly more stressful and incidents of violence in the workplace are on the rise, especially within psychiatric facilities, ERs, critical care areas, medical offices, long-term or short term care facilities, clinics as well as in the general workplace. Therefore, the need for specialized education dealing with recognizing and reacting to that potential violence, both in its early stages of escalation and when the situation becomes potentially assaultive is essential these days. The material presented within the New and Improved MAB® Management of Assaultive Behavior® is designed to provide a comprehensive and yet, easy to understand framework for effective intervention, prevention and management techniques that will apply to both your workplace and within your day-to-day life.
We accomplish this by using a proven crisis negotiation and de-escalation system, derived from years of crisis negotiation experience, for anyone faced with unpredictable, suicidal, aggressive or violent behavior exhibited by individuals within the healthcare field, the mainstream workplace and corporate environments, as well as everyday people dealing with difficult people and situations. We’ll also present a special emphasis on intruders entering facilities with weapons and the profiles of why they do what they do and how to recognize any warning signals a head of time that might help to keep you, your staff and your families safe from harm. Whether you have two employees or fifty-thousand, or simply just want for you, your friends and family to learn ways to understand, recognize, avoid and defend yourself from aggressive individuals, we can accommodate you or your facility’s needs easily, effectively and at a reasonable cost.
This fully customizable, de-escalation-oriented MABPRO® program will cover the essential and trusted methods of crisis negotiation, which when utilized in the stages prior to any physical intervention or assault that personnel might be faced with, will in most cases, prevent the need for any physical intervention at all. And in the event that the intervention becomes physical in nature, the program will then address the defensive methodology and extremely effective techniques derived from evasive defense arts to protect oneself humanely and safely, as well as how to help effectively manage the assaultive situation, individually or as a group. The defensive portion is designed for anyone, whether they are six years old, or ninety-six and are very safe and effective for both the defender and their attacker, yet while focusing on the main goal of escape, rather than confrontation. Rooted from passive defense arts that focus on how to direct both the mind and body away from physical contact, this program is a must for anyone who desires to feel more confident and empowered within their own abilities to react properly when faced with an unexpected or potentially harmful situation, as well as to help develop a cohesive and productive team of individuals to work with.
Feeling safer and more confident to deal with difficult situations is especially important these days as the world has taken such an unpredictable turn within the last few years and being able to act quickly and defensively has become an essential survival tool to learn and practice. MABPRO® MAB® will not only teach you and your employees to defend themselves verbally and emotionally, but physically as well, within a manner which reduces the potential risks for physical injury, both for the client and staff. Your staff will gain a new sense of security and confidence by learning these proven techniques that do not rely on strength in any way, but rather balance and leverage, so anyone, no matter what their size, can now learn and actually perform these humane maneuvers and thus keep themselves and those around them, safe and free from injuries.
The goal of the MABPRO® MAB® training is to provide as much of a Restraint-Free Environment as possible while assisting the participating employees in developing the skills necessary to recognize the signs of a person escalating to the point of possible violent behavior and then to confidently intervene after recognizing those signs of escalation by a client or individual, in hopes of avoiding a possible violent situation, or reacting correctly to one already occurring. Following the training, attendees will be able to feel more comfortable with knowing how to properly recognize warning signs of a potential crisis within the workplace, whether the individual who is perpetrating the assault is directing it toward others or themselves. At the same time, staff will gain the invaluable psychological element of understanding why we humans react the way we do in ways that might provoke or escalate the situations we’re faced with. Once this methodology has been examined, the attendees will be able to react appropriately, defuse effectively, or respond physically if necessary, while ensuring the safety of themselves, the clients and any personnel or individuals within the milieu of the facility.
The impression of traditional Aggressive Behavior Management programs may be for many, that there is an emphasis on the physical techniques to deal with potentially assaultive individuals. That’s far from the case within the MABPRO® MAB® program and although safe and evasive physical techniques will be addressed, learned and demonstrated during the presentation, this program will always focus on a more sensible and effective solution of prevention first through comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand techniques of de-escalation, negotiation and psychodynamic methodology of understanding the behavior of aggression, where it comes from and the best methods to de-escalate it. As a result, the individuals attending these workshops will receive important and essential concepts of negotiation and de-escalation to initiate the appropriate responses that will defuse the situation into a calm and therapeutic one rather than a potentially dangerous encounter.
It should be understood by all who operate within the healthcare field, whether in the psychiatric setting, ER, medical floors, security, administration and supports staff, as well as the general public, that physical intervention by anyone in an attempt to defend oneself or control another person’s behavior is regarded as strictly a last resort. Therefore our methods will demonstrate that this will always be the case and in terms of compliancy, the philosophies and training that are presented here are by far the most current, effective and up-to-date techniques available, regarding preventative and least restrictive de-escalation measures, along with safe and humane physical responses. This, combined with the innovative developmental combination of a more multi-faceted crisis negotiation-oriented approach to de-escalating a potentially assaultive individual instead of the standard, single-step de-escalation protocol prior to the physical response, ensures a more effective and successful outcome for the aggressive individual, as well as for the employee. In effect, the proven higher rate of success in avoiding a physical encounter between employees and the aggressive individual that the training will provide, in turn, will create a safer environment for the facility and all who work there, as well as reduce the facility-incurred costs of employee and client injuries and workman’s comp claims as a result. This element alone is an undeniable reason to at least try the training on for size for your facility.
The customization of this MABPRO® MAB® training and constant evolution of its curriculum for any situation, setting or person, is a key importance when it comes to educating a skilled and multi-responsive group of employees within a facility, whether large or small. Some staff may require more comprehensive and introductory training in the philosophies of this program, while others possess specialized skills and education that warrant a less intensive format.
Still, others may not be as involved within the daily client contact that might place them in jeopardy on a regular basis, but still would like the confidence knowing that they can escape a volatile situation quickly and effectively. Every person taking this training will leave having learned something valuable. All employees taking this program will receive fully-customizable training along with pertinent and interesting workbooks and educational material helpful in understanding the philosophies and practical uses of preventing and handling Aggressive Behavior. Additionally, all attendees will be provided with and will complete comprehensive competency checklists, post tests, waivers and evaluations to be placed into each employee’s files, as well as for compliancy requirements necessary to the facility to keep on record, in order to provide facility regulatory agencies with the proof of educational quality and control training. All MABPRO® trainings will also offer California CE (Board of Registered Nursing) and BBS (Behavioral Sciences) Continuing Credits for all who qualify and require them.
