Forensic Psychiatry

Working with this potentially explosive population can put your staff in very difficult situations. This can be made worse when your staff members come into conflict – folks with corrections backgrounds and folks from therapeutic backgrounds don’t often see eye-to-eye! Your clinical, security, nursing and direct care staff members all need a common language and a consistent set of skills that help them provide both safe custody and humane, effective care.

NAPPI can help! Since 1977, NAPPI has worked in organizations like yours to provide safe, humane and effective care – even when faced with behavioral emergencies. NAPPI has helped organizations reduce restraints, minimize injuries, and increase cooperation.

NAPPI has been in use at facilities that have successfully been credentialed by JCAHO, COA, CARF, and Medicare. NAPPI complies with the new CMS Regulations. We have worked with the NTAC of the NASMHPD on their restraint and seclusion elimination initiative to provide trauma-informed care in a non-coercive, nonviolent treatment milieu. In fact, NAPPI skills have been specifically listed as part of the six strategies to reduce the use of seclusion and restraint by the NTAC. We strive to create environments where restraints are unnecessary, assaults are unknown, and where everyone feels safe. That requires giving staff members the skills to respond to positive behaviors, intervene with unwanted behaviors, and have the confidence and ability to safely stop physical harm when necessary.
