Show Notes

The Hogg Foundation is deeply committed to humane, evidence-based approaches to working with persons experiencing mental health crises. Seclusion and restraints are too often used to control people in psychiatric settings. Along with being a failure in treatment, such interventions can cause trauma and injury to clients and staff. Aaryce Hayes is a senior vice president of operations for The Mandt System®, which trains organizations in humane techniques for intervening in emergency situations. In this episode, we explore keys to reducing seclusion and restraint, and the related issue of awakening organizations and direct care staff to the importance of being trauma-informed.
