MABPRO

This fully customizable, MABPRO® Management of Assaultive Behavior® (MAB)® violence prevention and de-escalation program will cover the essential and trusted methods of crisis negotiation, which when utilized in the stages prior to any physical intervention or assault that personnel might be faced with, will in most cases, prevent the need for any physical intervention. In the event that the intervention becomes physical in nature, the program will then address the methodology to protect those in danger and defend oneself humanely and safely, as well as how to help effectively manage the assaultive situation, individually and as a group.

This program is a must for health care providers who wish to feel more confident and empowered within his or her own abilities to react properly and effectively when faced with an unexpected or potentially harmful situation.

Participants will gain a new sense of security and confidence by learning these proven techniques that do not rely on strength in any way, but rather balance and leverage, so anyone, no matter what their size, can now learn and actually perform these humane maneuvers designed to keep themselves and those around them safe and free from injuries.
