Crisis Aggression Limitation & Management Methods

Crisis, Aggression, Limitation and Management offers training programs in the United Kingdom used to manage difficult, challenging and aggressive behaviors.

  1. Non-Confrontational

    • Using violence with angry people has proven counterproductive. Safe and therapeutic responses, instead of restraints, offer a professional approach, so that the cure is not worse than the disease. CALM seeks to avoid abusive behaviors and to "do no harm" to aggressors except in extreme situations.

    Evidence and Trauma

    • Evidence-based data support the philosophy of CALM's methods. Stress and trauma can precipitate aggressive behavior. Challenging an already stressed out person does not work. Safe practices through the effective use of trauma theory deescalate hostile situations.

    Topics

    • Course topics include managing critical incidents, parent classes, dementia, escape techniques, physical intervention, trauma, restraint reduction and CALM instructors' courses.

    Public Health

    • The method of addressing public health and safety includes overall practical application and real-life situations, in addition to classroom training and restraint exercises.
