    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 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
