RE: policies on discipline in institutions

["Marlene Matarese" <mmatares@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A helpful link may be SAMHSA's reduction of seclusion and restraint
website.  The project officer for the initiative would be a helpful link
to identifying EBPs for keeping kids safe in the least restrictive and
harmful ways possible as well as state contacts for identifying
guidelines.

Subject: policies on discipline in institutions

Can anyone send me or point me to a source of guidelines on
discipline/physical restraint that is used in a youth serving
organization? I am looking to help develop guidelines for a series of
residences in a variety of states. I am aware that different states have
different guidelines--do federal guidelines exist in the U.S.?

All help appreciated.
