What Is The RIGHT RESPONSE?

The RIGHT RESPONSE Cycle will guide you along the path to success. Maybe an incident occurs unavoidably and requires De-escalation or even Physical Safety. The practice of Postvention will guide you back into the goal of Prevention, allowing you to address the needs of the person before the next incident can occur. This cycle represents a powerful process and will work well for you- if you follow its steps.

  • Prevention
  • De-escalation
  • Postvention
  • Physical Safety

Critical thinking and teamwork are required elements of the RIGHT RESPONSE. Only by understanding a person’s behavior and its purpose can we really help them meet their needs appropriately, safely and permanently. Their needs change constantly so we must diligently change our response. Collaborating with others ensures that we maintain a holistic perspective for our response. The RIGHT RESPONSE is also based in history, policy and established procedure.
