“Six years after being certified to train the Pro-ACT Principles, our clients and staff have realized great improvement in quality of care. Through our training and implementation of the ProACT principles, we continue to maintain extremely low numbers of restraint and seclusion. Our Risk Management Department has noticed a reduction of work comp claims including lost wages so significant, they have begun to investigate the drastic savings. I credit it to the proper implementation of the Pro-ACT Principles.”
