MANAGING TODAY’S CHALLENGING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INPATIENT TREATMENT DEMANDS:

An Update for Psychiatric & Addiction Treatment Staff

A two-hour training on compact disc

Hear a fast-paced and focused review by two nationally recognized leaders about the challenges of managing today’s behavioral health inpatient treatment settings. With higher patient acuity and shorter lengths of stay, the challenges of maintaining a safe and therapeutic treatment milieu in psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric units in general hospitals, addiction treatment services, and residential treatment centers have never been greater. New staff members are constantly joining our treatment teams, experienced staffs are looking for the latest thinking in care approaches, and leaders are looking for the best information to share with their staffs. Topics include essential staff skills for establishing and maintaining a therapeutic milieu, incorporating recovery concepts into short-term hospitalization, use of peer specialists, incorporating the patient perspective of the treatment experience, and reducing reactive aggression in children by reducing coping demands. The faculty provide resources you can use to prepare for the training and also use for further discussion as you apply the concepts presented to your specific clinical situations.
