Presenter, Tina Champagne, M.Ed., OT/RL will review the MA Department of Mental Health regulations that include the integration of sensory approaches by all DMH licensed facilities and provide essential knowledge in the skilled and responsible use of sensory modalities to help patients regulate emotions, maintain safety, and avoid crisis situations, thus leading to the decreased need for the use of physical and chemical restraints.
