    Ep. 21: Improve Treatment Responses to Mental Health Crises

    Guest Moderator - Brine Hamilton, CHPA Special Guests - Joel Lashley, Gary Klugiewicz Today, the largest institution in America for the treatment of mentally ill people is the Los Angeles County Jail, followed by jails in New York and Chicago. How is it that we wound up housing our mentally ill and cognitively disabled people in jails? Is it just a fact of life that mentally ill and cognitively challenged people commit more crimes than healthy and neurotypical people, so they end up in jail? …Or is the answer more complex? In addition, emergency rooms absorb around 12 million mental health emergency visits a year. These visits can be not only enormously costly but largely ineffective, due to a lack of training by clinical staff to manage their patient’s mental health needs. In this episode Brine talks to Gary and Joel about how and what kind of trained techniques can have a positive impact on an institution's collective response to a critical incident. Some key takeaways from the discussion will include: - The role of a special management team comprised of various professionals in responding to crisis situations within an institution and how consistent interdepartmental training is crucial to achieve a positive outcome - How treating individuals with dignity by showing them respect keeps everyone safer - Why employing "Non-Escalation" can be as important as "De-Escalation" - Using empathy - what is the other person's reality vs. your own - is essential when communicating with someone in severe crisis

    Ep. 20: A Demonstrated Positive Impact on Training

    On this episode Allen talks to two of the researchers who conducted a study of the effectiveness of Vistelar's training at the Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division (MCBHD). They spent countless hours observing as the majority of MCBHD's staff received end-user training that ranged from verbal non-escalation/de-escalation to team stabilization tactics. From environmental services to physicians, participants from across the organization participated in the training and ultimately the study. The data gathered, through surveys, focus groups, and quantitative data showed an overall positive impact on various concerns that prompted the training in the first place. The training showed some of the following benefits: Reduced role conflict between different staff members Improved individuals' conflict resolution skills Increased safety or perceptions of safety while at work, reduce burnout and turnover

He has decades of organizational executive experience and is author of several books. He currently runs his own consultant practice and is a certified speaker for Vistage.

It is the second episode of a three-part series on this topic. Some of the core principles discussed include: How seemingly mundane issues can spur bigger conflicts within an organization Why intra-organizational conflict is actually a bigger issue within organizations than conflicts will clients or the public How the issues of power, turf, and fear drive a lot of conflict The value of having a common goal and leadership focused on driving their team towards that goal The role of the annual performance review When a new team is put together, the need to form, storm, norm, perform. Why leaders need to demonstrate their values, not just talk about them To learn more from Dr. Jim Bohn, check out his books on Amazon or connect with him on LinkedIn.

    Ep. 16: Intra-Organizational Conflict

    On this episode, Allen Oelschlaeger is joined by Mike Panebianco, a past vice president of the Southwest Airlines Pilot Association (https://www.swapa.org) and president of MRH (mission ready human) Performance, a consulting organization focused on peak human performance. The discussion focuses on the issue of intra-organizational conflict – i.e., conflict that is internal to an organization (rather than with clients or the general public). Some of the core principles discussed include: - Even at organization with strong values like Southwest Airlines, intra-organizational conflict still exists. Conflict is inevitable within any organization or team. - In most organizations, intra-organizational conflict is a bigger problem than the conflict that occurs with clients (patients, students, customers) or with the general public. - The impact of intra-organizational conflict is significant: sick leave goes up, stress-related illness goes up, turnover goes up. - In many organizations, conflict avoidance is often a bigger problem that in-your-face conflict - The airline industry has done a great job of training such that conflict avoidance within the cockpit is a rarity. - The Total Quality Management movement was largely based on training people to address issues head-on rather than avoid conflict.

    Ep 15: Psychomotor Skill Training: How to Optimize Learning

    On this episode, Allen Oelschlaeger is joined by Randy Revling, a retired Sheriff’s captain with over 30 years of experience as a law enforcement instructor. Randy developed the original instructor development course (IDC) used by the State of Wisconsin and has personally taught over 600 instructor schools for a wide range of disciplines. Unlike most trainers, Randy has documented positive results of his training methods. The discussion focuses on how to optimize “learning” — defined as creating relatively permanent changes in student behavior that results in the benefits expected from the training. Some of the core principles discussed include: • To optimize learning, the importance of soliciting emotion and making the training practical and relevant to the student • People learn by doing, not by listening to a lecture • To drive learning, the need for a stimulus that is created by practicing inside a real-life and relevant scenario • The four steps that must be completed before delivering any training • The reason why teaching should occur inside scenario practice, rather than before this practice • The application of Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Training Evaluation Model to psychomotor skill training • How to effectively engage with students who start class with a bad attitude • The potentially conflicting goals of a training class generating “learning” versus generating good evaluations

    Ep. 14: Psychomotor Skill Training: How to Optimize Learning

    On this episode, Allen Oelschlaeger is joined by Gerard O’Dea from Dynamis (https://www.dynamis.training), a UK conflict management training company and Professor Chris Cushion from Loughborough University (https://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ssehs/staff/chris-cushion), a renown expert in how to teach psychomotor skills to optimize learning (conflict management skills are psychomotor skills). Gerard and Professor Cushion have been working together for the last six years to develop a training system that creates a relatively permanent change in their student’s behavior that results in the benefits Dynamis promises its customers (healthcare, education, law enforcement, residential care). The discussion focuses on the core training principles validated by empirical research over the last 40 years that produce these outcomes. Also discussed are how these principles are so rarely applied in the training of psychomotor skills. Some of the core principles discussed include: - How the goal of a training program is learning (a relatively permanent change in student’s behavior that supports the results expected from the training) rather than getting positive reviews - Training must use whole task scenarios in order to optimize learning (instead of block training of small elements of the whole task that only create the illusion of learning) - The whole task scenarios must reflect real-world situations faced by the student (instead of the skill practice being decontextualized). - Training should be structured to take advantage of the background and experience that the students bring to class
