These homes have been significantly modified to eliminate safety concerns. Consistency and routine are key factors in the proven success of these programs. Because of the complex/high level behaviors, MHS IIs are provided training for manual restraints and will experience mental, emotional, and physical manipulation from the person we support. Staff may be exposed to severe verbal aggression that may include disparaging remarks, racial slurs and swearing. ABS programs utilize a person-centered approach to creating a program that focuses on supporting a person to reach their goals while still considering the safety of the individual, staff, and the community.
