Tips on Conflict De-escalation for Mental Health or Dementia Care Professionals

To help mental health/dementia care professionals cement learning concepts and demonstrate application of skills, two localised videos have been produced that focus on ‘Engaging Resistant Clients’ and ‘De-escalating Conflicts’ via a total of 6 case scenarios. We encourage all to use it for your own learning or in your training materials.

This video covers the following points:
1) Hallucination, agitation and suspicion
2) Aggressive behaviour
3) Suicidal ideation and self-harm

Loved the de-escalation tactics! My one thought that’s contrary to the video is giving a patient tissues. I was trained that tissues should always be available, but the patient should be the one to reach for them, or ask for them. When a therapist hands, a patient a tissue, it can come across as non-verbally telling the patient to stop crying/stop sharing their emotions/their emotions are wrong
