Benefits of De-Escalation Training with Resolution Education

Occupational violence and aggression in healthcare is a serious issue across the whole health sector — not just hospitals. This page covers de-escalation training for healthcare organisations broadly, including mental health services, allied health and remote community health. If you’re specifically looking for training for a hospital ward environment, visit our Hospital Staff page, or for aged care settings, visit our Aged Care page. Resolution Education’s OVA and Code Black Training for healthcare workers aims to reduce instances of violent outbursts from patients, minimising the altercations your team face. This enables staff to focus on their primary task – providing exceptional healthcare. Resolution Education is an Australian specialist OVA provider, and our training is built around the A.D.P. Framework, tailored to your organisation’s specific facility, patient profile and existing policies. We ensure training is hands-on, with multiple role-playing scenarios based on your organisation’s needs, and training designed specifically for your staff and facility (considering internal policies and procedures).

De-Escalation, Code Black, Restrictive Practices, Restraint and OVA Training in Healthcare

Resolution Education has extensive experience in the development and teaching of customised OVA (occupational violence and aggression) techniques, including de-escalation, restrictive practices, restraint and Code Grey and Code Black Training. We have delivered training to all facets of the health sector, including emergency response teams, mental health organisations, and remote support organisations. This experience also includes all organisation sizes, from small private clinics to large state hospitals. We focus on situational awareness and practical de-escalation techniques tailored to your organisational requirements.

We work with organisations to fully understand their operating environment and any issues that may arise in which staff will require OVA skills. From this foundation we customise all training programs to specific organisational requirements, utilising our signature A.D.P. framework as a base. A.D.P. allows trainees to build skills incrementally, facilitating memory retention, and leveraging logical thought sequences to ensure successful outcomes.
