  Further information for students

  MAPA Participant Workbook and License
  
  The goal of the MAPA® (Management of Actual or Potential Aggression) training program is to enable the student to manage the challenging behavior of a client or patient with care and risk minimization as a priority. The MAPA® training program includes restriction options to help manage varying degrees of challenging behavior.
  
  The training includes studying the theoretical basis with the help of a workbook and various exercises. The theory deals with e.g. communication in challenging customer situations, the development and escalation of challenging behavior, laws governing operations, the use of a decision matrix, and post-crisis recovery. Training includes exercises related to approaching, communicating, and dealing with anger. In addition, disengagement skills learning during the workshop include punching, kicking, holding, biting, at low, medium, and high risk levels while standing and sitting.
  
  The training also looks at the special features of working with children and the elderly. Mapa promotes safe work and activities for the benefit of customers, patients and staff. MAPA training can be approved by presenting a valid Blue Card.
