The In-service Instructor Certification uses a problem-solving framework and gives staff the tools they need to make thoughtful decisions, increase safety, and reduce potential risk is the objective of this training.
Understanding that staff have an impact on the safety of the environment, Pro-ACT begins with staff development. Addressing professionalism and preparation, and an understanding of client needs, Pro-ACT certification training offers In-service Instructors and employees skills to effectively manage their own behavior and increase the safety of the work environment. From there, staff learn a variety of early intervention strategies focused on de-escalation and the reduction of assault and trauma.
The Pro-ACT program also teaches participants how to respond to low-level physical risk through a practice of evasion. Intended to keep the staff and client safe, evasion is a hands-off response to minor risk.
