• OBJECTIVE: Participants will identify current ecology, relationships, and leadership in their organization.
PROCESS: Divide the group into three similar sized groups. Assign one group ecology, one group relationships, and one group leadership. Ask them to do an evaluation (positive and negative) of how their organization currently functions around these issues as it relates to the reduction of seclusion and restraint. Have each group report back their findings. The groups may want to write key points on the board or on a flip chart.

Deegan Quote
“People diagnosed with mental illness are resilient and are more than passive victims of disease processes. Professionals who learn to collaborate with the active, resilient, adaptive self of the client will find themselves collaborating in new and rewarding ways with people who may have been viewed as hopeless by others who reify [to regard (something abstract) as a material or concrete thing] diagnoses and related prophecies of doom” (Deegan, Ph.D., 2001).

Roadmap to a Restraint Free Environment for Persons of All Ages
As we talked about communicating with the consumers, I had an overwhelming sensation of grief and guilt
Roadmap to a Restraint Free Environment for Persons of All Ages
and realized that as a nurse I tell patients that I am going to keep them safe
Roadmap to a Restraint Free Environment for Persons of All Ages
and one way of doing this
is to take from them anything that we see as dangerous such as shoe laces, belts
Roadmap to a Restraint Free Environment for Persons of All Ages
so they can’t hurt themselves with anything that could be a weapon.
Roadmap to a Restraint Free Environment for Persons of All Ages
But when they are very upset and losing control,
Roadmap to a Restraint Free Environment for Persons of All Ages
we come along with our restraint bag—
our bag of weapons
Roadmap to a Restraint Free Environment for Persons of All Ages
and we do hurt them and use harsh words.
It doesn’t make sense.
Roadmap to a Restraint Free Environment for Persons of All Ages
“It’s crazy making when we tell consumers that we are doing this to help them be safe!”

I found the most valuable aspect of the training to be the self-awareness that was awakened in me, and the awareness I saw awakened in other participants.
Roadmap to a Restraint Free Environment for Persons of All Ages
As you know, our desire to obtain training was based in our commitment to eliminate restraint and seclusion, but setting goals and achieving them are two different things, as you pointed out.
Roadmap to a Restraint Free Environment for Persons of All Ages
Your training showed us it can be done, that it has been done elsewhere, and I believe you built in us the internal strength to get it done.”
David K. Clinical Services Director
