Safety-Care® Basics

Many organizations want to orient groups of staff to Safety-Care® concepts, but don’t need those staff to participate in an in-depth certification class. While the regular Safety-Care® course requires the investment of significant training time for small groups of specialized staff, Safety-Care® Basics can be presented to larger groups in presentation format.

  • Safety-Care® Basics is designed as a one hour presentation.
  • It does not confer any certification in Safety-Care®, but it does orient staff to principles of prevention and de-escalation, as well as what staff who are not Safety-Care® certified can do to assist in the event of a behavioral crisis.
  • Basics is presented in slide deck format (PowerPoint and PDF versions are available).
  • Only certified Safety-Care® trainers may present Safety-Care® Basics.
  • Basics can be provided to any size group of staff.
  • No physical procedures or competencies are taught in Safety-Care® Basics.
