Restraint Training
Restraint Training USA
Restraint is one specific type of restrictive practice — the physical or mechanical technique used to limit a person’s movement when it’s genuinely necessary and safe to do so. This page covers the hands-on skill itself. Our Restrictive Practices Training page covers the broader category, including seclusion, environmental and chemical restraint, and the legal framework around when restrictive practices can be used at all.
Resolution Education’s Restraint Training is a specialized, technique-focused package for emergency response teams, security personnel, healthcare providers, and other roles who may need to physically restrain a person as a genuine last resort. Delivered through engaging, face-to-face sessions over 1-2 days, our Restraint Training utilizes the proven A.D.P. Framework (Awareness, De-escalation, Protection) to prioritize prevention and early intervention wherever possible — restraint is only ever taught as what happens when those earlier stages haven’t been enough.
Participants gain hands-on experience via role-playing and realistic scenarios in a controlled environment, building essential self-awareness, team coordination, and the confidence to recognize when restraint is truly necessary — or better avoided — while mastering easy-to-learn techniques for standing, seated, and transitional restraints that enhance overall workplace safety.
The training is customizable and can range from basic restraint awareness to more intensive physical technique, depending on the industry and situations likely to arise, and is always delivered under close supervision to ensure compliance with relevant state and federal regulations.
Who Will Benefit From Restraint Training?
Restraint Training is necessary for roles where physical intervention is a genuine possibility, and we believe every employee requiring this specific skill will find our interactive training package effective. Our easy-to-learn restraint techniques are designed to keep both staff and the person being restrained as safe as possible.
Resolution Education has trained personnel at all levels within various organizations, and we understand that the situations likely to require physical restraint vary significantly depending on role and industry. That’s why all training is based on our proven A.D.P. Framework, with the physical technique component customized to your organization’s actual risk profile.
