Study Notes
Crisis Intervention Goals
- Two primary objectives: Support the environment and emotions to diminish stress and risk, while teaching children effective coping mechanisms.
Phases of the Stress Model of Crisis
- The model consists of five phases: pre-crisis state (baseline behavior), triggering event, escalation phase, outburst crisis, and recovery.
Questions in Crisis Situations
- During a crisis, assess: personal feelings, child's feelings/needs, environmental influences, and optimal responses.
Stages of Conflict Crisis
- Four stages: Stressful situation/incident, young person’s feelings, behaviors exhibited, and adult's response.
Conflict Cycle Avoidance
- Prevent conflict through: positive self-talk, active listening and validation, and environment management.
Goals of Emotional First Aid
- Immediate support to lessen emotional intensity, resolve crises, and ensure the child remains engaged in activities.
Goals of LSI (Life Space Interview)
- Aim for normal functioning restoration, event clarification, relationship repair, new coping skills teaching, and program reintegration.
Steps of LSI
- Steps to follow: isolate conversation, explore perspective, summarize feelings, connect feelings to behavior, discuss alternatives, plan and practice new behaviors, and re-enter routine.
Criteria for Physical Intervention
- Physical intervention requires: agency policy/state regulation approval, indication in individual crisis management plan (ICMP), and a dynamic risk assessment.
Justification for Physical Restraint
- Use restraint only for: imminent self-harm or imminent risk of harm to others.
Situations to Avoid Physical Intervention
- Avoid interventions when: unable to control the child, staff emotions are unmanaged, or in public settings.
Risk Factors in Physical Intervention
- Factors that increase serious injury risk: obesity, substance influence, underlying illnesses, certain medications, and prolonged agitation.
Warning Signs in Physical Intervention
- Watch for: changes in skin color, respiration, consciousness levels, range of motion/swelling, and positioning of child/staff.
Errors to Avoid in TCI Physical Intervention
- Prevent injuries by: avoiding weight on chest or back, avoiding neck pressure, and not obstructing the nose/mouth.
Addressing Potentially Violent Situations
- The first element to remove in potentially violent scenarios is the target of the threat.
Definition of Setting Condition
- Settings that influence the likelihood of challenging behavior.
Co-Regulation Strategy
- In stress management, initially focus on self-awareness through the four critical questions.
Communication During Physical Intervention
- Maintain minimal verbal communication to avoid escalating aggression.
Reactive vs. Proactive Aggression
- Reactive aggression characterized by emotional dominance, while proactive aggression is goal-oriented and cognitively driven.
Setting Conditions Examples
- Organizational structures as influences on behavior likelihood.
Emotional First Aid in Practice
- Providing immediate emotional aid to upset children aids in maintaining group participation.
Active Listening and Emotional Competence
- Active listening fosters defused situations, while emotional competence is vital for effective care work.
Techniques for Engagement
- Reflective responses mirror feelings, while prompting guides behaviors.
Understanding Emotional Dynamics
- Emotional first aid enables children to cope with frustrations while emotional competence helps manage emotions during stress.
Summary Techniques
- Summarization reinforces understanding by providing constructive feedback on expressed feelings and thoughts.
Child Behavior Norms
- Baseline behavior reflects the normal state specific to each child.
These notes consolidate essential elements of crisis intervention, emotional support, and behavioral management strategies.
